v t e

Elections were held in Maryland on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Primary elections were held on September 14, 2010.

Federal

United States Senate

Incumbent Democratic Senator Barbara Mikulski ran for re-election against Republican Eric Wargotz and many third-party and independent candidates. She previously won senate elections in 1986, 1992, 1998, and 2004 by margins of 21, 42, 41 and 31 percentage points, respectively. She won the Democratic primary with token opposition and defeated Republican Eric Wargotz 62%-38%. With her victory and service to the end of her term in January 2017, Mikulski tied Paul Sarbanes as the longest-serving senator in state history, and also becoming the longest-serving female senator in history.

United States House

All eight of Maryland's seats in the United States House of Representatives were up for election in 2010. As of 2021, this is the last time that Republicans won more than one congressional district in Maryland.

By district

Results of the 2010 United States House of Representatives elections in Maryland by district:

District 1

Incumbent Democrat Frank Kratovil ran for re-election against state senator Andy Harris (politician) and Libertarian Richard Davis. Harris defeated Kratovil and Davis, 54%-42%-4%.

District 2

Incumbent Democrat Dutch Ruppersberger ran for re-election against Republican Marcelo Cardarelli, a physician. He won 64%-33%.

District 3

Incumbent Democrat John Sarbanes, son of former senator Paul Sarbanes, ran against Republican Jim Wilhelm. He defeated him, 61%-36%.

District 4

Incumbent Democrat Donna Edwards ran for re-election against Republican Robert Broadus and won in a landslide, 83%-16%.

District 5

Incumbent Democrat and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer ran for re-election. He has represented this district since 1981. He was challenged by Republican Charles Lollar, the Chairman of the Charles County Republican Party. He won 64%-35%.

District 6

Incumbent Republican Roscoe Bartlett ran for re-election against Democrat Andrew Duck. Bartlett was re-elected with 61% of the vote to Duck's 33%.

Bartlett's district would be redrawn after the 2010 United States redistricting cycle. The composition of the district changed drastically, and he lost to John Delaney (Maryland politician).

Incumbent Democrat Elijah Cummings ran for re-election, having represented the district since 1996. He defeated Republican Frank Mirabile 75%-23%.

District 8
