Victoria Isabel Broderick (born 1991/1992) is an American politician who is a member-elect of the United States House of Representatives for Tennessee's 4th congressional district. A member of the Democratic Party, she narrowly defeated Scott DesJarlais in the 2026 election in an upset.

Broderick was born in Tampa, Florida and earned her bachelor's in communications from Austin Peay State University. She served as county chair of Lincoln County from 2022 to 2025, and she is currently a member of the Tennessee Democratic Party executive committee.

Political career

Broderick first ran for Congress in 2024 in the 4th district, citing the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision as a motivator for her involvement in politics. However, she lost to DesJarlais by a margin of 70%–26%.

In the 2026 Democratic primary, after Tennessee had redrawn its district boundaries, Broderick won despite being heavily outspent by Nashville City Councilman Mike Cortese. She narrowly defeated incumbent Scott DesJarlais in the general election.
