Christopher Van Hollen Jr. (/vænˈhɒlən/vanHOL-ən; born January 10, 1959) is an American attorney and politician serving as theseniorUnited States senator fromMaryland, a seat he has held since 2017. A member of theDemocratic Party, he served as theU.S. representative forMaryland's 8th congressional district from 2003 to 2017 and as aMaryland state senator from 1995 to 2003.[1][2]

In 2007, Van Hollen became the chair of theDemocratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). In this post, he was responsible for leading efforts to defend vulnerable Democrats and get more Democrats elected to Congress in2008, which led to awave election for Democrats. House SpeakerNancy Pelosi created a new leadership post, Assistant to the Speaker, in 2006 so that Van Hollen could be present at all leadership meetings. He was elected ranking member on the Budget Committee on November 17, 2010. Pelosi appointed Van Hollen to the 12-member bipartisanCommittee on Deficit Reduction with a mandate for finding major budget reductions by late 2011. On October 17, 2013, Pelosi appointed Van Hollen to serve on the bicameral conference committee.[3]

Van Hollen ran for theUnited States Senate in2016 to replace retiring SenatorBarbara Mikulski. He defeated U.S. RepresentativeDonna Edwards in the Democratic primary and won the general election with 61% of the vote toRepublican nomineeKathy Szeliga's 36%. He was reelected in2022 with nearly 66% of the vote to Republican nominee Chris Chaffee's 34%. Van Hollen chaired theDemocratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) from 2017 to 2019.[4] Van Hollen became Maryland's senior senator whenBen Cardin retired from the Senate in 2025.[5]

Early life, education, and career

[edit]

Van Hollen was born inKarachi, Pakistan, the eldest of three children of American parents, Edith Eliza (née Farnsworth) andChristopher Van Hollen.[6][7] His father was aForeign Service officer who served as deputyassistant secretary of state for Near Eastern Affairs (1969–1972) andU.S. ambassador toSri Lanka and theMaldives (1972–1976);[8] his mother worked in theCentral Intelligence Agency and theState Department, where she served as chief of the intelligence bureau forSouth Asia.[7][9] He spent parts of his early life in Pakistan, Turkey, India, and Sri Lanka.[9][10] He returned to the United States for his junior year of high school, and attendedMiddlesex School inConcord, Massachusetts, where his grandfather had once taught.[9]

He is an alumnus of theKodaikanal International School (inDindigul district,Tamil Nadu, India).[11] In 1982, Van Hollen graduated fromSwarthmore College with aBachelor of Arts inphilosophy.[12] He continued his studies atHarvard University, where he earned aMaster of Public Policy concentrating in national security studies from theJohn F. Kennedy School of Government in 1985.[12] He then earned aJuris Doctor from theGeorgetown University Law Center in 1990.[12]

Early political career

[edit]

Van Hollen worked as a legislative assistant for defense and foreign policy toU.S. SenatorCharles Mathias, aRepublican fromMaryland, from 1985 to 1987.[13] He was also a staff member of theU.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations (1987–1989), and a legislative advisor for federal affairs toMaryland governorWilliam Donald Schaefer (1989–1991).[13] He was admitted to the Marylandbar in 1990, and joined the law firm ofArent Fox.[14]

Maryland State Legislature (1991–2003)

[edit]

Van Hollen served in theMaryland General Assembly from 1991 to 2003, first in theHouse of Delegates (1991–1995) and then in theState Senate (1995–2003).[12] In the Senate, he served on the Budget and Taxation Committee and the Health and Human Services Subcommittee. He led successful efforts to raise the tobacco tax, prohibit oil drilling in theChesapeake Bay, mandatetrigger locks for guns, and increase funding for education and healthcare.[9] In 2002,The Washington Post called Van Hollen "one of the most accomplished members of the General Assembly."[15]

Elections

[edit]

Before Van Hollen's election, incumbentConnie Morella had won eight elections in the district, despite being a Republican in a district that had swung heavily Democratic. Morella's success was largely attributed to her political independence and relativelyliberal voting record, including support forabortion rights,gay rights,gun control, and increasedenvironmental protections.[16]

After Morella's reelection in 2000, DemocraticMaryland Senate PresidentThomas V. Miller, Jr. made no secret that he wanted to draw the 8th out from under Morella. Indeed, one redistricting plan after the 2000 census divided the 8th in two, giving one district to Van Hollen and forcing Morella to run against popular State DelegateMark Kennedy Shriver. The final plan was far less ambitious, but made the district even more Democratic than its predecessor. It absorbed nine heavily Democratic precincts from neighboringPrince George's County, an area Morella had never represented. It also restored a heavily Democratic spur in eastern Montgomery County that had been cut out in the last round of redistricting.[17] Van Hollen defeated Morella in the 2002 general election in part, according to some analysts, because of this redistricting.[18]

In 2002, Van Hollen entered a competitive Democratic primary against Shriver and formerClinton administration aide Ira Shapiro. Though Shriver had the most money, Van Hollen launched a grassroots effort that mobilized Democratic voters. After receiving the endorsement ofThe Washington Post,The Baltimore Sun, and other local papers, Van Hollen defeated Shriver, 43.5% to 40.6%.[19]

During the campaign, Van Hollen emphasized that even when Morella voted with the district, her partisan affiliation keptTom DeLay and the rest of her party's more conservative leadership in power. Van Hollen also touted his leadership in the State Senate on issues such as education funding,HMO reform,trigger locks for handguns, and protecting theChesapeake Bay fromoil drilling. Van Hollen defeated Morella, 51.7% to 48.2%.[20] He crushed Morella in Prince George's County while narrowly winning Montgomery County. Morella won most of the precincts she had previously represented.

Van Hollen never faced another contest nearly that close, and was reelected six times with at least 60% of the vote. After the 2010 census, his district was made slightly less Democratic. He lost a heavily Democratic spur of Montgomery County to the neighboring6th district, and lost his share of Prince George's County to the4th district. In their place, the 8th absorbed a strongly Republican spur of Frederick County, as well as the southern part of even more Republican Carroll County. Nonetheless, his share of Montgomery County has more than double the population of his shares of Carroll and Frederick Counties combined, and Van Hollen won a sixth term over Republican Ken Timmerman with 63% of the vote. He lost in Carroll and Frederick, but swamped Timmerman in Montgomery by 130,406 votes.[21]

Tenure

[edit]

In 2003, the Committee for Education Funding, a nonpartisan education coalition founded in 1969, named Van Hollen its Outstanding New Member of the Year.[22] The first bill Van Hollen introduces every session is the Keep Our Promise to America's Children and Teachers (Keep Our PACT) Act, which would fully fundNo Child Left Behind andIndividuals with Disabilities Education Act. He introduced an amendment, which passed, that repealed a 9.5 percent loophole instudent loans that had allowed lenders to pocket billions of taxpayer dollars. Now, that money is available for additional student loans.[23]

Because many federal employees live in his district, Van Hollen has worked on a number of issues relating to them. He supported pay parity in pay raises for civilian employees and introduced an amendment, which passed, to block attempts tooutsource federal jobs.[24]

Official portrait as a U.S. representative, 2010

Van Hollen has secured federal funding for a number of local-interest projects, including transportation initiatives, localhomeland security efforts, education programs and community development projects. Van Hollen included a provision in legislation governingWashington Metro to prevent housing development inTakoma Park.[25] He andAdam Schiff (D-CA) often discuss issues of National Security on the floor of the House in tandem, with particular commentary on the wars inAfghanistan andIraq.[26]

In May 2006, Van Hollen formed acongressional caucus on theNetherlands with Dutch-born Republican U.S. RepresentativePete Hoekstra fromMichigan. The goal of the caucus is to promote the U.S. relationship with the Netherlands and remember the Dutch role in establishing theState of New York and theUnited States.[27]

In July 2006, Van Hollen urged theBush administration to support a ceasefire supported by a peacekeeping force that would end the2006 Lebanon War. He was criticized by elements of theJewish and pro-Israel community, a large part of his constituency, for criticizing U.S. and Israeli policy in the Lebanon conflict.[28] In follow-up comments, Van Hollen indicated that his original comments were meant as a critique of Bush administration policy but did not retract his position, and other members of the local Jewish and pro-Israel community defended him.[28][29][30]

In 2006, Van Hollen opted out of the race to succeed the retiring SenatorPaul Sarbanes, saying he would rather spend time with his family and help elect more Democrats to Congress.[31] In keeping with that, Van Hollen was appointed to Chairman of theDemocratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

In 2009, Van Hollen introduced a bill which establishes agreen bank to catalyze the financing ofclean energy andenergy efficiency projects.[32] He reintroduced the same bill again in 2014.[33]

In March 2010, whenCharles Rangel was forced to resign as Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means over ethics charges, Van Hollen played a key role in havingSander Levin succeed to the Chairmanship overPete Stark. Stark was the second-most experienced member of the committee while Levin was third, and party tradition would have made Stark chairman due to seniority. However, Van Hollen and other younger members saw Stark's past intemperate comments as a liability to the Democrats in an election year.[34]

On April 29, 2010, Van Hollen introduced the campaign financeDISCLOSE Act.[35] He reintroduced the bill for the 113th Congress on February 9, 2012.[36]

In April 2011, Van Hollen sued theFederal Election Commission, charging it withregulatory capture and the creation of a loophole that allowed unlimited and undisclosed financing in the 2010 election season. According to Van Hollen, had it not been for the loophole, "much of the more than $135 million in secret contributions that funded expenditures would have been disclosed."[37][needs update]

During the 2012 Obama reelection campaign, Van Hollen participated in one-on-one debate prep with vice presidentJoe Biden, impersonating the Republican vice-presidential candidatePaul Ryan.[38]

In 2014, Van Hollen worked with a bipartisan group to pass the ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) Act. The legislation allowed people with disabilities to create tax-free savings accounts for qualified disability-related expenses (including education, housing, and transportation). The act was signed into law on December 19, 2014.[39]

I cry for our country."[51] As Van Hollen waited for the Capitol to be secured, he said he wanted an immediate investigation, calling the perpetrators "a violent mob." He also contrasted the police's treatment of the rioters with events that led to the use of tear gas on peaceful demonstrators, such asBlack Lives Matter protests.[52] After Congress returned to session to count the electoral votes, he voted against objections raised by some Republican senators.[53] Van Hollen also called for Trump's "immediate removal" via theTwenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution and said, "we should have looked at that option much earlier."[49]

In July 2025, Van Hollen led a call by 29 Senate Democrats asking Rubio to investigate the killing of Palestinian-Americans in theWest Bank region.[59][60] In September, he visited the West Bank with Oregon SenatorJeff Merkley and reported their conclusion that Israel was carrying out an "ethnic cleansing" campaign in the territory.[61]
