The Chittenden-21 field
Two Democratic incumbents, Chloe Tomlinson and Daisy Berbeco, are running in the 2026 general election for Vermont House District Chittenden-21. The election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.
The race is listed as contested, putting two current officeholders from the same party in the Chittenden-21 field. That makes candidate identity, rather than party affiliation or a contrast between an incumbent and a newcomer, the clearest distinction between them at this stage.
Both candidates enter the election with incumbent status, meaning each currently holds the office. Neither has a documented biography, set of policy positions or campaign finance figures on file. Voters therefore do not yet have a recorded difference between the candidates on issues, fundraising, spending or cash on hand.
Chloe Tomlinson
Chloe Tomlinson is a Democratic incumbent running for Vermont House District Chittenden-21. She is one of the two candidates listed in the contested general election.
Tomlinson does not have a candidate biography on file. She also has no documented policy positions in the race, so there is not yet a stated issue platform to describe. Figures for funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are also not on file.
Her candidacy presents voters with a current officeholder seeking to continue representing Chittenden-21. Any later statements about district priorities, proposed legislation or differences with the other candidate would add definition to her campaign before the November election.
Daisy Berbeco
Daisy Berbeco is a Democratic incumbent running for Vermont House District Chittenden-21. She is the other candidate listed in the contested general election.
Berbeco does not have a candidate biography on file. She also has no documented policy positions in the race, leaving no stated issue platform to summarize. Figures for funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are likewise not on file.
Her candidacy also gives voters a choice involving a current officeholder seeking to continue representing Chittenden-21. Later statements about district priorities, proposed legislation or differences with the other candidate would provide more detail about her campaign ahead of Election Day.
What makes the race contested
The contest features two candidates who share the same party affiliation and the same incumbent status. As a result, the basic labels next to their names do not create a party contrast or an experience contrast between a current officeholder and a first-time candidate.
The next points of distinction may come through the campaign process. Candidate statements could establish where Tomlinson and Berbeco stand on state or district issues. Campaign finance filings could also show how each campaign is raising and spending money, once figures are reported.
The ballot field could change before the general election if the official candidate list changes. For now, the Chittenden-21 race consists of Tomlinson and Berbeco, both Democrats and both incumbents, with the general election set for Nov. 3, 2026.
