The 2026 general election field for Vermont House District Chittenden-2 includes two candidates: Democratic incumbents Angela Arsenault and Erin Brady. The race is designated as contested and will appear in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election.

Both candidates enter the election with the same listed party affiliation and the same incumbent status. Neither has documented policy positions in the race, so there is not yet a stated difference between them on specific issues.

Race at a glance

Chittenden-2 is a Vermont State House district. The listed general election candidates are Arsenault and Brady, both Democrats who currently hold office.

A contested designation means this is not listed as a race with only one named candidate. However, voters should not assume from that designation that Arsenault and Brady are competing for a single seat. The race information identifies the candidates and their incumbent status but does not establish how many representatives voters may select from the district.

The election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. Candidate filings, official ballot information and any later campaign statements will help clarify the choices voters will see.

Angela Arsenault

Angela Arsenault is running as a Democrat and is identified as an incumbent. She is one of the two named candidates in the Chittenden-2 State House general election.

Arsenault does not have documented policy positions in the race at this stage. There are also no listed totals for money raised, money spent or cash on hand. Without those details, voters cannot yet compare her campaign priorities or financial activity with Brady’s on those measures.

Erin Brady

Erin Brady is running as a Democrat and is identified as an incumbent. She is one of the two named candidates in the Chittenden-2 State House general election.

Brady does not have documented policy positions in the race at this stage. There are also no listed totals for money raised, money spent or cash on hand. Without those details, voters cannot yet compare her campaign priorities or financial activity with Arsenault’s on those measures.

What is contested and what comes next

The defining feature of the current field is that both named candidates are Democratic incumbents. There is no listed candidate from another party, and neither Arsenault nor Brady has a documented platform that creates a policy contrast in the race.

For voters, the next useful information will be the official ballot structure, including how many candidates may be selected, as well as any positions the candidates state during the campaign. Campaign finance filings could also show whether either candidate raises, spends or retains campaign money.

Until those details emerge, the clearest facts are the names, party affiliation and status of the candidates: Arsenault and Brady are both Democrats, both are incumbents, and both are running in the Chittenden-2 general election scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.

What to watch

  • The official ballot structure and number of selections allowed
  • Policy positions announced during the campaign
  • Campaign finance filings for both candidates
  • Any changes to the general election field
