Elections were held on November 2, 2010, to determine North Carolina's 13 members of the United States House of Representatives. Representatives were elected for two-year-terms to serve in the 112th United States Congress from January 3, 2011, until January 3, 2013. Primary elections were held on May 4, 2010, and primary runoff elections were held on June 22, 2010.[1]

Of the 13 elections, the races in the 2nd, 8th and 11th districts were rated as competitive by Sabato's Crystal Ball,[2][3][4] while the 2nd, 7th, 8th and 11th districts were rated as competitive by CQ Politics[5] and The Rothenberg Political Report,[6] and the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th and 11th districts were rated as competitive by The Cook Political Report.[7] Of North Carolina's 13 incumbents, 12 were re-elected while one (Bob Etheridge of the 2nd district) unsuccessfully sought re-election.[8]

In total, seven Democrats and six Republicans were elected.[8] A total of 2,662,529 votes were cast, of which 1,440,913 (54.12 percent) were for Republican candidates, 1,204,635 (45.24 percent) were for Democratic candidates, 16,562 (0.62 percent) were for Libertarian candidates and 439 (0.02 percent) were for write-in candidates.[9] As of 2024, this is the last time the Democrats won a majority of North Carolina's congressional districts, even though they did not win the popular vote. As a result, North Carolina became one of three states in which the party that won the state's popular vote did not win a majority of seats in 2010, the other states being Iowa and New Jersey.

The 2nd district included Sanford and parts of Fayetteville and Raleigh.[25] The district's population was 58 percent white, 29 percent black and 11 percent Hispanic (see race and ethnicity in the United States census); 80 percent were high school graduates and 18 percent had received a bachelor's degree or higher. Its median income was $42,945.[26] In the 2008 presidential election the district gave 52 percent of its vote to Democratic nominee Barack Obama and 47 percent to Republican nominee John McCain.[25] In 2010 the district had a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+2.[7]

Democrat Bob Etheridge, who took office in 1997, was the incumbent. Etheridge was re-elected in 2008 with 67 percent of the vote.[25] In 2010 Etheridge's opponent in the general election was Republican nominee Renee Ellmers, a nurse. Libertarian Party nominee Tom Rose also ran.[27] Etheridge was unopposed in the Democratic primary.[26] Frank Deatrich, a retired businessman; and Todd Gailas, an auto dealer, also sought the Republican nomination.[28]

In June 2010 Etheridge was involved in an incident in which he grabbed a camera belonging to a pair of self-described students, one of whose wrists he then grabbed, before placing the student in a hug. One of the students had asked whether Etheridge supported "the Obama agenda", to which Etheridge replied "who are you?"[29] The incident went viral on the internet and cable television, and led to a spike in financial contributions to Ellmers's campaign.[30] Etheridge later issued an apology for grabbing the young man.[31]

Etheridge raised $1,414,630 and spent $1,904,688. Ellmers raised $1,118,736 and spent $886,608.[32] Gailas raised $2,140 and spent $959.[33]

In a poll of 400 registered voters, conducted by SurveyUSA (SUSA) for the Civitas Institute (CI) in June 2010, Ellmers led with 39 percent to Etheridge's 38 percent, while 12 percent supported Rose and 11 percent were undecided.[34] A poll of 400 registered voters, conducted by SUSA for CI in October 2010, found Ellmers leading with 46 percent to Etheridge's 41 percent while Rose had the support of 6 percent and 7 percent were undecided.[35]

Sabato's Crystal Ball rated the race as "likely Democrat", citing Etheridge's fundraising advantage over Ellmers.[2] In October 2010 The Cook Political Report rated the race as "lean Democratic"[7] and CQ Politics rated the race as "likely Democratic".[5] In November 2010 The Rothenberg Political Report rated the race as "Toss-up/Tilt Democrat".[6] Prior to the election FiveThirtyEight's forecast gave Ellmers a 55 percent chance of winning and projected that she would receive 47 percent of the vote to Etheridge's 46 percent, while Rose would receive 6 percent.[36]

On election day Ellmers was elected with 50 percent of the vote to Etheridge's 49 percent, while Rose received 2 percent.[37] On November 4, 2010, Etheridge had yet to concede despite the Associated Press declaring Ellmers the winner.[38] On November 12 Etheridge confirmed he would seek a recount,[39] after which he conceded on November 19.[40] Ellmers was again re-elected in 2012[41] and 2014.[42] Etheridge unsuccessfully ran for Governor of North Carolina in 2012.[43] In 2013 Etheridge was appointed to lead North Carolina's Farm Service Agency.[44]

Its median income was $43,227.[116] In the 2008 presidential election the district gave 52 percent of its vote to Democratic nominee Barack Obama and 47 percent to Republican nominee John McCain.[115] In 2010 the district had a Cook Partisan Voting Index of R+2.[7]

Democrat Larry Kissell, who took office in 2009, was the incumbent. Kissell was elected in 2008 with 55 percent of the vote.[115] In 2010 Kissell's opponent in the general election was Republican nominee Harold Johnson, a sportscaster.[117] Libertarian Party nominee Thomas Hill also ran. Nancy Shakir, a retired teacher, also sought the Democratic nomination. Lee Cornelison, an accountant and Vietnam veteran; Tim D'Annunzio, a business owner and former paratrooper; Darrell Day, a preacher; Lou Huddleston, an army officer; and Hal Jordan, a computer programmer, also sought the Republican nomination.[118] Wendell Fant, a former member of Kissell's staff, was recruited to run as an independent by N.C. Families First, but said in June 2010 that he would not run.[119]

Kissell raised $1,104,141 and spent $1,105,922. Johnson raised $1,079,623 and spent $1,066,424.[120] Cornelison raised $20,531 and spent the same amount.[121] D'Annunzio raised $1,595,547 and spent the same amount.[122] Day raised $25,790 and spent the same amount.[123] Huddleston raised $215,115 and spent $214,555.[124] Jordan raised $210,068 and spent the same amount.[125]

In a poll of 744 voters conducted by Public Policy Polling (PPP) in January 2010, Kissell led with 53 percent to Johnson's 39 percent while 8 percent were undecided.[126] A PPP poll of 400 voters, conducted in June 2010, found Kissell leading with 41 percent to Johnson's 35 percent in a two-way race, while 23 percent were undecided; and with 40 percent to Johnson's 30 percent and Fant's 14 percent in a three-way contest, while 16 percent remained undecided.[127] A poll conducted for Kissell's campaign by Anzalone Liszt Research between August 19 and 24, 2010, with a sample of 500 likely voters, found Kissell leading with 49 percent to Johnson's 32 percent and Hill's 7 percent, while 12 percent were undecided.[128] In a poll of 400 likely voters, conducted by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee between August 25 and 29, 2010, Kissell led with 48 percent to Johnson's 36 percent while 6 percent supported Hill.[129] A poll of 400 likely voters, conducted by Public Opinion Strategies for Johnson's campaign on August 29 and 30, 2010, found Kissell had the support of 39 percent while 34 percent favored Johnson and 27 percent either were undecided or supported Hill.[130] In a poll of 450 registered voters, conducted by SurveyUSA for the Civitas Institute in October 2010, Kissell led with 46 percent to Johnson's 45 percent while 9 percent were undecided.[131]

In October 2010 The Cook Political Report rated the race as a "toss up"[7] and CQ Politics rated the race as a "tossup"[5] while Sabato's Crystal Ball rated the race as "Leans Republican".[3] In November 2010 The Rothenberg Political Report rated the race as "Lean Democrat".[6] Prior to the election FiveThirtyEight's forecast gave Johnson a 53 percent chance of winning and projected that he would receive 49.0 percent of the vote to Kissell's 48.5 percent.[132] On election day Kissell was re-elected with 53 percent of the vote to Johnson's 44 percent.[133] Kissell unsuccessfully sought re-election in 2012 and was succeeded by Republican Richard Hudson.[134]
