Democrat Melissa Bean, who took office in 2005, was the incumbent. Bean was re-elected in 2008 with 61 percent of the vote.[98] In 2010 Bean's opponent in the general election was Republican nominee Joe Walsh, a venture capitalist.[100] Green Party nominee Bill Scheurer, a businessman, also ran.[101]
Jonathan Farnick, a computer consultant who ran as a write-in candidate, also sought the Democratic nomination.[102] Dirk Beveridge, a business owner; John Dawson, a former member of the Crystal Lake High School District 155 school board; Chris Geissler, a manager with a consulting firm; Greg Jacobs, a retired deputy in the Cook County Sheriff's Office; and Maria Rodriguez, the mayor of Long Grove, also sought the Republican nomination.[103] Scheurer was unopposed in the Green primary.[99]
In March 2010 Walsh acknowledged having owned a condominium which went into foreclosure in 2008 and from which he was evicted in 2009. Walsh said the "experience helped [him] gain a better appreciation for the very real economic anxieties felt by 8th District families".[104] Walsh came under further scrutiny in May 2010 after an email was sent to supporters by two former campaign aides questioning his veracity with regard to his personal income and campaign finances. Pat Brady, the chair of the Illinois Republican Party, said "questions have been raised and [Walsh] needs to provide satisfactory answers to those questions."[105] Walsh was also sued by his former campaign manager for allegedly unpaid compensation, and was penalized by the U.S. House for failing to file disclosure reports. Later in May, Brady and other party leaders met with Walsh to determine his viability as a nominee. Following the meeting Brady said Walsh "is our nominee and we support him", while Walsh's campaign manager said "everything is moving forward".[106]
Bean raised $2,292,879 and spent $2,451,348. Walsh raised $624,694 and spent $602,803.[107] Beveridge raised $232,669 and spent $231,639.[108] Geissler raised $36,572 and spent $32,788.[109] Rodriguez raised $132,347 and spent the same amount.[110]
In a poll of 827 likely voters, conducted by We Ask America (WAA) on February 18, 2010, Bean and Walsh had the support of 38 percent of respondents apiece, while 4 percent supported Scheurer and 20 percent were unsure.[111] A poll of 1,381 registered voters, conducted by WAA on September 28, 2010, found Bean and Walsh tied again, with the support of 41 percent of respondents each.[112] In WAA a poll of 773 likely voters conducted on October 31, 2010, 49 percent of respondents supported Walsh, while 46 percent favored Bean and Scheurer had the support of 6 percent.[113]
Sabato's Crystal Ball rated the race as "Likely Democratic", citing Bean's fundraising advantage and the district's 2008 presidential vote.[5] In October 2010 The Cook Political Report rated the race as "Likely Democratic".[4] Prior to the election FiveThirtyEight's forecast gave Bean an 88 percent chance of winning, and projected that she would receive 53 percent of the vote to Walsh's 46 percent.[112]
On election day Walsh was elected with 48.5 percent of the vote to Bean's 48.3 percent.[19]: 42 Walsh declared victory the next day.[114] The final votes were tallied on November 16; Bean conceded that night.[115] This was the closest House race in 2010. In 2013 RealClearPolitics named the result as one of the "top 10 upsets" of the 2010 elections.[116] Walsh unsuccessfully sought re-election in 2012 and was succeeded by Democrat Tammy Duckworth.[117]
