Christopher A. Pearson (born January 5, 1973) is a Vermont politician and a member of the Vermont Progressive Party. He currently serves as a State Senator in a 6-seat district representing Chittenden County. He previously served five terms in the Vermont House of Representatives representing the Chittenden-3-4 District (currently, the Chittenden 6-4 District) during 2006-2009 and 2011-2017.

Pearson served as Leader of the Progressive Party caucus in the Vermont House during the 2007-2008 session and again during 2011-2017.^[1]^[2]

After Chittenden County Progressive Senator David Zuckerman decided not to run for re-election to the Vermont Senate in 2016 and instead to run for Lieutenant Governor of Vermont, Pearson decided to run for Vermont Senate from Chittenden County. On May 24, 2016, Pearson was endorsed by presidential candidate U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders.^[3] On November 8, 2016, Pearson finished sixth in an 8-candidate race for the six State Senate seats from Chittenden County.^[4]
