Mayoral elections

Elections were held on November 2, 2010, to determine Washington's nine members of the United States House of Representatives. Representatives were elected for two-year terms to serve in the 112th Congress from January 3, 2011, until January 3, 2013. Nonpartisan blanket primary elections were held on August 17, 2010.[1]

Of the nine elections, the races in the 2nd, 3rd and 8th districts were rated as competitive by CQ Politics,[2] The Rothenberg Political Report[3] and Sabato's Crystal Ball,[4][5][6] while The Cook Political Report rated the 2nd, 3rd, 8th and 9th districts as competitive.[7] Every incumbent was re-elected, with the exception of Democrat Brian Baird, the U.S. representative for Washington's 3rd congressional district, who retired rather than seeking re-election. Baird was succeeded by Jaime Herrera Beutler, a Republican.[8]

In total, five Democrats and four Republicans were elected.[9] In the November elections a total of 2,479,409 votes were cast, of which 1,296,502 (52 percent) were for Democratic candidates, 1,135,166 (46 percent) were for Republican candidates, and 47,741 (2 percent) were for an independent candidate.[10]

Democrat Rick Larsen, who took office in 2001, was the incumbent. Larsen was re-elected in 2008 with 62 percent of the vote.[26] In 2010 Larsen's opponent in the general election was John Koster, a former member of the Washington House of Representatives and a member of the Republican Party.[28] John Carmack, a structural-mechanical designer and contractor, also ran as a Republican;[29] while Larry Kalb, a member of the Democratic State Committee;[30] and Diana McGinness, a retired fraud investigator,[31] also ran as Democrats.

A Republican internal poll of 300 likely voters conducted by Moore Information in April 2010 found 44 percent of respondents intended to vote for Larsen, while 37 percent favored Koster.[35] In June 2010 Koster's campaign manager cited a poll of 784 respondents conducted for Koster's campaign, in which Koster led Larsen by around 53 percent to 47 percent; however he did not provide a hard copy of the results, which Larsen's campaign manager said were inaccurate.[36] In a poll conducted in August and September 2010 by SurveyUSA, with a sample size of 612 likely voters, 50 percent of respondents supported Koster while 46 percent favored Larsen and 4 percent were undecided.[37] In a SurveyUSA poll of 576 likely voters conducted later in September 2010, Larsen led with 50 percent to Koster's 47 percent, and 3 percent were undecided.[38] In SurveyUSA's final poll of 643 likely and actual voters, conducted in October 2010, Larsen led with 50 percent to Koster's 46 percent, and 3 percent were undecided.[39]

In October 2010, The Cook Political Report rated the race as "Lean Democratic"[7] and CQ Politics[2] and Sabato's Crystal Ball rated the race as "Leans Democratic".[4] In November 2010, The Rothenberg Political Report rated the race as "Lean Democrat".[3] Prior to the election FiveThirtyEight's forecast gave Larsen a 74 percent chance of winning and projected that he would receive 52 percent of the vote to Koster's 48 percent.[35]

Larsen was re-elected with 51 percent of the vote to Koster's 49 percent.[40] After the initial count Koster led by less than 1,500 votes; however Larsen took the lead on November 3 and was later declared the winner.[41] Larsen was again re-elected in 2012 and in 2014,[42] while Koster unsuccessfully ran in the redrawn 1st district in the 2012 election.[43]

Dicks was re-elected in 2008 with 67 percent of the vote.[119] In 2010 Dicks's opponent in the general election was Doug Cloud, a lawyer and a member of the Republican Party.[121] Jesse Young, a software engineer, also ran as a Republican.[122]

The incumbent was Democrat Adam Smith, who took office in 1997.
