The Vermont Progressive Party, formerly the Progressive Coalition and Independent Coalition, is a political party in the United States that is active in Vermont. It is the third-largest political party in Vermont behind the Democratic and Republican parties. As of 2023[update], the party has one member in the Vermont Senate and five members in the Vermont House of Representatives, as well as several more affiliated legislators who caucus with the Democratic Party.[7][8]
The last time a third-party had members elected to the state legislature in Vermont was in 1917, with the election of James Lawson of the Socialist Party of America.[9]
