Balint, the president of the Vermont state senate and a former middle school teacher, beat the other major party candidate, Liam Madden, an independent who won the Republican primary.

Three independents and one libertarian candidate were also in the race. During her victory speech, Balint gave supporters her word that she would not back down from tough fights in Washington.
