2000 United States Senate election in Vermont
The 2000 United States Senate election in Vermont took place on November 7, 2000. Republican incumbent Jim Jeffords was re-elected to a third term over Democratic state auditor Ed Flanagan in a landslide. As of 2026, this is the Vermont federal election won by a Republican and the last time that either party won this seat. In May 2001, Jeffords left the Republican Party, became an independent, and joined the Democratic Party caucus in the Senate. His switch broke the 50–50 deadlock in the Senate and gave the Democrats the majority. The switch marked the first time since the foundation of the Republican Party circa 1855 that Vermont had no Republicans in its congressional delegation.
