Philip Baruth (Democratic Party) is a member of the Vermont State Senate, representing Chittenden Central District. He assumed office on January 4, 2023. His current term ends on January 6, 2027.
In 2022, Senate Democrats nominated Baruth as the Senate's president pro tempore. The person holding this position "oversees the body's activities as it works through its annual legislative process and presides over the Senate in the absence of the Lieutenant Governor."[1]
Baruth earned a bachelor's degree in English and American Literature from Brown University in 1984, his master's in English from the University of California, Irvine, in 1987, and his Ph.D. from there in 1993.[2] That same year, he began teaching English classes at the University of Vermont.[3] Baruth also worked as a political commentator for Vermont Public Radio and as an author of fiction and non-fiction books, including a biography of U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D).[4]
Baruth first ran for Senate in 2010 in the Chittenden District. Vermont used multi-member districts, and Baruth was elected as one of six senators for the district. In 2013, Baruth was named as majority leader of the chamber.[5] VTDigger's Nat Rudarakanchana wrote that as majority leader Baruth wanted to "keep the Democratic caucus and discussion more inclusive in his role, and manage tensions between more progressive and conservative factions within the 23-member caucus."[6] He held the position until 2017. From 2017 to 2021, Baruth was chair of the Senate Education Committee.
VTDigger’s Lola Duffort wrote that Baruth was "One of the Senate’s more liberal members," and that he "is perhaps best known for his support for gun control."[7] Baruth said he saw his role as president pro tempore as "help[ing] the Senate run smoothly, and to advance Vermont in housing, gun safety, public health and safety, climate sanity and economic prosperity."[8] In 2024, Baruth was the primary sponsor of a bill that expanded background checks to address homemade guns.[9] The bill passed and was enacted into law.[10] In 2025, Baruth said that housing and education would be the Senate's top priorities, saying, "I will work like a dog every single day of this biennium to solve [housing and education]. It’s our top priority, in my opinion, and we cannot adjourn without a comprehensive legislative framework in hand."[11]
Biography
Philip Baruth lives in Burlington, Vermont. Baruth earned a B.A. in English from Brown University and a Ph.D. from the University of California at Irvine. His professional experience includes working as a commentator for Vermont Public Radio, writing novels, and teaching at the University of Vermont.[12]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
