The 2010 Arizona state elections were held on November 2, 2010, with primaries on August 24, 2010. These include state-level offices and both chambers of Congress. A special election was also on May 18 for Proposition 100.

Contents

U.S. Senate

John McCain announced his plans to run again for Senate on November 25, 2008, [1] just 21 days after losing the 2008 presidential race. McCain faced a primary challenge from former representative J.D. Hayworth, [2] and Jim Deakin. The Democratic candidates were Rodney Glassman, Rudy Garcia, and John Dougherty.

In the general election, the candidates were incumbent John McCain (R), Rodney Glassman (D), Jerry Joslyn (G), and David Nolan (L).

U.S. House of Representatives

Elections were held for all Arizona's congressional districts, with elections in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 8th congressional districts being among the more heavily contended.

Republican John Shadegg, the incumbent in the 3rd district, announced that he would not seek re-election on January 14, 2010. [3] On the Republican side, Ben Quayle, son of former vice-president Dan Quayle, announced his on February 12, 2010, [4] [5] despite never voting in a local election. [6] Other notable Republicans in the race include former state representative Sam Crump, former state senators Pamela Gorman and Jim Waring, and former Paradise Valley Mayor Vernon Parker. The only Democrat in that race is Jon Hulburd. [7]

Both the 5th and 8th districts' Democratic incumbents, Harry Mitchell and Gabby Giffords, respectively, are seeking reelection. [8] Mitchell faces a Republican challenge from former Maricopa County Treasurer David Schweikert, Jeffrey W. Smith, Jim Ward while Giffords' biggest Republican challengers include former State Senator Jonathan Paton and construction manager Jesse Kelly. [9]

Governor

On January 20, 2009, Janet Napolitano was confirmed as United States Secretary of Homeland Security by Barack Obama and resigned as governor the next day. [10] Since Arizona does not have a lieutenant governor, Secretary of State Jan Brewer took over office. Brewer announced her intentions to run for full term in November 2009. [11] The other Republican candidates were state treasurer Dean Martin, Owen "Buz" Mills, former Arizona Board of Regents president John Munger, Matthew Jette, and Tom Gordon. [12] At one point, Sheriff Joe Arpaio was considering a run for governor, but eventually declined. [13] On June 2, 2010, John Munger dropped out of the race. [14]

The only Democratic challenger was Attorney General Terry Goddard. [12] The Libertarian Party had Ronald Cavanaugh, Bruce Olsen, Alvin Ray Yount, and Barry Hess facing off while Larry Gist was on the ballot for the Green Party. [12]

Jan Brewer won the Republican primary with approximately 80% of the vote while Democrat Terry Goddard moved on with no opposition. Barry Hess won the Libertarian primary and Larry Gist won the Green primary. Incumbent Jan Brewer won the election with 54.3% of the vote.
