2010 Orange County, Florida mayoral election
The 2010 Orange County, Florida mayoral election took place on November 2, 2010. Incumbent Republican Mayor Richard Crotty was unable to seek re-election due to term limits, and four candidates ran to replace him. A nonpartisan primary election was held on August 24, 2010, but because no candidate won a majority of the vote, former County Commissioner Teresa Jacobs, a Republican, advanced to a runoff election against fellow County Commissioner Bill Segal, a Democrat. Following a contentious general election, Jacobs was elected Mayor over Segal in a landslide, winning her first term 68-32.

The race to succeed term-limited Mayor Richard Crotty, a Republican, initially included incumbent County Commissioners Mildred Fernández, Bill Segal, and Linda Stewart, former County Commissioner Teresa Jacobs, and businessman Matthew Falconer. Though officially nonpartisan, Segal and Stewart were Democrats, while Falconer, Fernández, and Jacobs were Republicans.


2010 Orange County, Florida mayoral election, Primary election, Campaign
Segal started off as the frontrunner, raising vastly more money than his opponents combined, benefiting from independent expenditures from a business-affiliated campaign group, and winning support from much of the county's political establishment. He emphasized his business experience and campaigned on a plan to create jobs by providing employment incentives to businesses. Segal was criticized by his opponents, however, for his pro-development policies. He also came under scrutiny for attending private, men-only meetings with lobbyists and developers, and for voting for county projects that benefited his business partner financially. Segal, however, compared the meetings to other routine events that he regularly attended, and said that he "never made a dime" on his votes.

Though Stewart raised little money, she launched an "aggressive" and "progressive campaign," focusing on her support for environmental causes, improving public transportation, LGBT rights, and ethics reform. She campaigned on her strong support for SunRail and other transportation projects, which she would've funded through a rental car surcharge and a half-cent sales tax increase, though she called for rolling back a 25-cent toll increase. Stewart was criticized for supporting tax increases and her inability to run the county, with Segal arguing that she didn't have the "savvy," "worldliness," or the "management ability" to lead the county.

Falconer, meanwhile, positioned himself as the Tea Party candidate, and campaigned on his support for slashing the size of county government and his opposition to infrastructure projects like SunRail.

Fernández campaigned on a fiscally conservative platform, arguing for tax cuts, a reduction in the size of government, and strong ethics reform. However, on April 27, 2010, following an undercover sting  she was arrested on charges of "bribery, grand theft, and accepting illegal campaign contributions." Segal's campaign manager, Eric Foglesong, had spoken with State Attorney Lawson Lamar's office about Fernández, and was listed as a "confidential source" in court records. Fernández claimed that "special interests" had conspired to launch a "brutal character assassination" against her, and her lawyer accused Segal of coordinating the arrest. Fernández dropped out of the race and was suspended as County Commissioner by then-Governor Charlie Crist, and she would later resign on November 15, 2011, as part of a plea deal.

Finally, Jacobs focused on ending the "good ol' boy network" that she said had long run Orange County and scared off businesses looking to relocate to the region. She emphasized her support for ethics reform and said that she would build the Wekiva Parkway by "renegotiat[ing] bond deals, reprioritiz[ing] current road projects, and look[ing] for private partners to complete the project."


2010 Orange County, Florida mayoral election, Primary election, Campaign
Though it did not make an endorsement in the race, the Florida Democratic Party campaigned against Jacobs, attacking her for being a "lobbyist" and for "spen[ding] her career working against us for special interests" and linked her to former President George W. Bush and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. Jacobs argued that the Party repeated Segal's "false accusations," and that she had "never been a lobbyist."


2010 Orange County, Florida mayoral election, Primary election, Campaign
The Orlando Sentinel endorsed Jacobs, praising her as "[c]reative and courageous, with a budget director's mind and an environmentalist's heart." The Sentinel criticized Segal for his disregard for unbridled development and lack of transparency, and noted that if he won, Falconer would be a "detriment to the county and the region" and would make Orange County "a bleak place." Though it praised Stewart's positions, the Sentinel argued that "Jacobs would champion them more forcefully," and that Stewart was "more advocate than administrator."

Despite Bill Segal's frontrunner status and expectations that he would finish first in the primary, he finished a distant second, only narrowly edging out Linda Stewart.


2010 Orange County, Florida mayoral election, General election, Campaign
As Jacobs and Segal advanced to the general election, the rhetoric between both campaigns became heated. Segal attacked Jacobs on ethics, for not supporting gay rights, and for making it "more difficult for minority-owned businesses to get access to county contracts." Jacobs countered that she supported an effort to expand the county's human rights ordinance, and that Segal "fought and ignored" financial disclosure and conflict-of-interest rules as County Commissioner. On racial issues, Jacobs argued that Segal misrepresented her record and pointed to her work improving quality of life in Tildenville, a small African-American community.

And despite Segal's earlier fundraising advantage over Jacobs, as the general election approached, Jacobs took a fundraising lead over Segal, and released polls showing that she maintained a sizable edge over him.

Meanwhile, Stewart refused to endorse Segal, a fellow Democrat, over Jacobs, a Republican, criticizing their "stark differences on the environment and growth policies." Stewart attacked Segal's environmental record, his pushes to "put urban development into rural settlements," and his "extremely poor judgment in attending lavish 'men-only' cocktail parties funded by lobbyists." However, she declined to endorse Jacobs, either, noting that she had "areas of disagreement" with her.

2010 Oregon Ballot Measures 66 and 67
Measures 66 and 67 are two ballot referenda that were on the January 26, 2010 special election ballot in the US state of Oregon, which proposed tax increases on corporations and on households making US$250,000 and individuals making $125,000 to help balance the state's budget. The measures referred two bills passed by the Oregon state legislature on June 11, 2009, and signed by Governor Ted Kulongoski on July 20, 2009, to the voters for approval. They were approved and became effective February 25, 2010.


2010 Oregon Ballot Measures 66 and 67, Background
The recession that greatly affected the American economy starting in late 2008 caused a budget shortfall in Oregon that the state legislature had to make up for. A critical factor in this process was that the 2008 general election gave Democrats a three-fifths majority in both chambers of the legislature, which is the supermajority needed to pass any bills calling for revenue increases. Among other actions, the legislature passed House Bills 2649 and 3405, raising taxes on corporations and on wealthy individuals and households, respectively. Some Oregon citizens started a drive to force a referendum on these bills, believing they would hurt the state's economy.


2010 Oregon Ballot Measures 66 and 67, Background
While 55,179 valid signatures from registered voters on each referendum petition were needed to qualify the referendum for the ballot,about 99,000 valid signatures were filed. Don Hamilton, spokesman for the Oregon Secretary of State's office, remarked that "it's unusually high for a statewide ballot measure." On October 8, 2009, the Secretary of State's office announced that both measures qualified for the January 26, 2010 ballot.


2010 Oregon Ballot Measures 66 and 67, Campaign
Businesses largely opposed the two measures, with groups such as the Associated Oregon Industries campaigning against both. The top individual donor was Phil Knight of Nike, who gave $150,000.


2010 Oregon Ballot Measures 66 and 67, Campaign
The yes vote was supported by educators and public employee unions. Politically, the Oregon Democratic Party supported the measures while the Oregon Republican Party opposed the measures. The campaigns for and against these measures spent the second most amount of money ever waged on a ballot measure campaign in the state. Only Ballot Measure 50 in 2007 was more expensive than the $12.5 million spent on the yes and no campaigns of Measures 66 and 67.


2010 Oregon Ballot Measures 68 and 69
Ballot Measures 68 and 69 were measures on the May 2010 ballot in the U.S. state of Oregon.


2010 Oregon Ballot Measures 68 and 69, Measure 68
Measure 68 passed with 65.1% voter approval. The measure allows the state to issue bonds to match voter-approved school district bonds for school capital costs.

The game came down to the Beavers final possession in the second overtime. On 4th down from the UW 4-yard line, Beaver quarterback Ryan Katz's pass for John Reese fell to the turf in the end zone. The Huskies stormed the field, only then to realize a late flag from back judge Johnny Jenkins was for pass interference against the Huskies' Desmond Trufant.

Jacquizz Rodgers then scored from the 2 on the next play to pull Oregon State to 35–34. Beavers coach Mike Riley called timeout and decided to go for two. But Katz's throw fell out of Joe Halahuni's hands as he was hit by linebacker Cort Dennison and Washington's celebration was on again.

The Bruins snapped a three-game losing streak with a 51-yard field goal by Kai Forbath with one second left in the game to give UCLA a 17–14 victory over the visiting Beavers. With 1:17 left in the game, Forbath missed a 46-yard field goal, which went wide left. Originally, the field officials had ruled that UCLA had no time left, but the challenge gave the Bruins one more second left to set up the field goal try.

2010 Oregon gubernatorial election
The 2010 Oregon gubernatorial election was held on Tuesday, November 2, 2010 to elect the Governor of Oregon to a four-year term beginning on January 10, 2011. The incumbent governor, Democrat Ted Kulongoski, was ineligible to run due to term limits barring him from being elected to more than two consecutive terms.


2010 Oregon gubernatorial election
The Democratic candidate John Kitzhaber, who had previously served two terms as governor from 1995 to 2003, was elected to a third term, earning a narrow victory over Republican candidate Chris Dudley and two minor party candidates. Kitzhaber's election marked the first time in Oregon's history that a person has been elected to a third term as governor.


2010 Oregon gubernatorial election
Almost every opinion poll throughout the election season showed a statistical tie between the two. State Republicans saw this election as the best chance to win the governorship since the last Republican governor, Victor Atiyeh, was re-elected in 1982. Once polls closed on election day, Dudley had led in early vote counts, but Kitzhaber narrowly won due to wide margins in Multnomah and Lane counties.


2010 Oregon gubernatorial election
Oregon first used its new cross nomination system, a form of fusion voting, in the 2010 general elections. In this system, a candidate for partisan public office can be nominated by up to three political parties. Kitzhaber was nominated by the Independent Party of Oregon in addition to the Democratic Party.


2010 Oregon gubernatorial election, Independent Party of Oregon primary
Oregon first used its new cross nomination system, a form of fusion voting, in the 2010 general elections. In this system, a candidate for partisan public office can be nominated by up to three political parties. As a result, the Independent Party of Oregon did not file a candidate and instead chose to hold a month-long online primary in July. In doing so, it became the first political party in the United States to conduct a binding statewide primary election entirely over the Internet,and it was the largest nominating process ever held by an Oregon minor political party. Republican Chris Dudley did not apply for the Independent Party nomination by the required date, so he was not on the ballot, but he could be written in.


2010 Oregon gubernatorial election, General election, Campaign
Following the primaries, the two leading candidates, Dudley and Kitzhaber, campaigned separately throughout the state for the summer. Despite attempts by both campaigns to arrange a debate, the candidates could only agree on a single debate on September 30. Through the end of September, the Dudley campaign had raised $5.6 million, more than twice as much as the Kitzhaber campaign.


2010 Oregon gubernatorial election, General election, Campaign
Throughout the last few months of the campaign, opinion polls showed a tight race with the lead apparently changing frequently. Due to the closeness of the race, President Barack Obama, for whom Oregon voted by a 16-percent margin in 2008, stumped for Kitzhaber; then headlined a rally at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland on October 20, 2010.

Hill finished with 203 passing yards, but only 3 touchdowns.

2010 Ottawa municipal election, Background
In Ottawa's 2006 municipal election, newcomer Larry O'Brien defeated former city councillor Alex Munter and then-incumbent Bob Chiarelli in an election largely based on the expansion of Ottawa's light rail transit system. A Léger Marketing poll published by the Ottawa Sun on May 26, 2007 put O'Brien's approval ratings at 24%, and reported that if an election were held that day, he and Munter would have been tied with 35% of the vote of those surveyed.

Terry Kilrea, who had dropped out of the previous mayoral race on August 30, 2006, accused O'Brien of offering him up to $30,000 and a political appointment if Kilrea would withdraw from that race and support O'Brien. On August 5, 2009, Larry O'Brien was acquitted of bribery charges stemming from this accusation.
