2010 United States House of Representatives elections in Nebraska, District 2
This conservative-leaning district is solely based in metropolitan Omaha and has been represented by incumbent Republican Congressman Lee Terry since he was first elected in 1998.

This year, Congressman Smith faced Democratic nominee Rebekah Davis and independent candidate Dan Hill. As expected, Smith trounced both Davis and Hill to win a third term to Congress.

On election day, Heller won by a large margin, as expected.

Facing her first bid for re-election in this marginally liberal district based in the suburbs of metropolitan Las Vegas, incumbent Democratic Congresswoman Dina Titus, the 2006 Democratic nominee for Governor, faced off against former State Senator Joe Heck.

2010 United States House of Representatives elections in Nevada, District 3, Campaign
The Las Vegas Review-Journal strongly criticized Congresswoman Titus for being "a Keynesian to the core" and for believing "government simply isn't spending enough to ensure our prospertity" and praised Republican challenger Heck for bringing "to the office the kind of perspective the House badly needs," endorsing Heck over Titus. The Sun, on the other hand, endorsed Titus, citing her "active and visible" profile and her work to "marshal federal support" to "homeowners hit hard by the economic crisis" as reasons for their endorsement.


2010 United States House of Representatives elections in Nevada, District 3, Campaign
Despite the fact that polling showed Heck with a lead over the incumbent Titus, it was a surprisingly close race, and Heck eked into Congress with less than a one percent and 1,700 vote margin of victory.

2010 United States House of Representatives elections in New Mexico, District 1, Campaign
First elected in 2008, incumbent Democratic Congressman Martin Heinrich ran for re-election for the first time this year. This moderate district, based in metro Albuquerque, has a tendency of supporting both Republican and Democratic candidates for office. In the general election, Congressman Heinrich faced Jon Barela, the Republican nominee for the seat and a former high-ranking official in the New Mexico Republican Party. Barela hammered at Heinrich for being "too far left" for what he described as a "center-right seat."


2010 United States House of Representatives elections in New Mexico, District 1, Campaign
The Albuquerque Journal endorsed Jon Barela in the general election, citing the fact that he "would boost the economy by nurturing predictability for investors and job creators" and urging New Mexico voters to vote for a candidate who would "[help] restore balance to Congress and [place] an emphasis on people over government programs to right the ship." Polling indicated that the race would be close, and on election day, Heinrich won a second term by nearly a four-point margin and 8,000 votes.

This conservative-leaning district, which has historically supported Republican candidates for higher office, has been represented by moderate Democratic Congressman Harry Teague since he was first elected two years prior. The previous Congressman, Republican Steve Pearce, retired in 2008 to run for Senate, a race that he lost. Coming off from a large electoral defeat at the hands of Democrat Tom Udall, the former Congressman Pearce re-entered the political sphere and challenged Congressman Teague when he sought election to a second congressional term. A tough campaign ensued, with Pearce taking the lead in most polls.


2010 United States House of Representatives elections in New Mexico, District 2, Campaign
Pearce's advantage widened when the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee announced that it was shifting resources from the 2nd district to the 1st district, a decision that the Pearce campaign responded, "The DCCC is realizing what we knew all along. Voters do not want the Teague-Pelosi agenda of out-of-control spending and lost jobs." In late October, Congressman Teague declined to participate in a debate with Steve Pearce, giving Pearce solo airtime that was broadcast statewide and providing some observers with evidence that Teague was essentially conceding defeat to Pearce. As political prognosticators indicated, on election day, Pearce defeated the incumbent Congressman and returned to Washington for his fourth nonconsecutive term.

The Albuquerque Journal endorsed Mullins, praising his plans to "trim federal spending" and "help the private sector create jobs…[by] lowering taxes." Despite this, however, Luján was able to use the district’s natural liberal leanings to his advantage and won re-election to a second term in Congress.

In March 2009, the AP reported that Engel was granted a legal annual tax credit on his Maryland residence. The Washington Post reported that the matter was reviewed by the Office of Congressional Ethics in August, 2009 and the OCE eventually ended its review on Engel, and Reps. Doris Matsui and Edolphus Towns, without recommending further investigation by the ethics committee.

Army veteran York Kleinhandler, has gained the GOP and Conservative Party endorsements from the party committees in the Bronx, Rockland County and Westchester County. Kleinhandler faces a Republican primary of his own against Tea Party candidate Anthony Mele in September, a primary that has brought local Republicans to physical blows and led to police involvement. He was also dogged by accusations "for predatory business practices against senior citizens" in Florida.

2010 United States House of Representatives elections in New York, District breakdown, District 18
Lowey was first elected in 1988 (defeating Joseph J. DioGuardi) and had few challenges since. The Republicans have endorsed write-in candidate Cortes DeRussy. Venture capitalist Paul Wasserman, who would have run against her as a Republican, backed out in July 2010. Mark Rosen, seen by many as the strongest competition, was recalled up to military service just as his campaign was gaining traction and was forced to drop out of the race.

Theologist James C. Russell holds the Republican and Conservative ballot lines by virtue of being the only person in the race in September, but the Republican Party disowned him after an essay in which he supported racial segregation surfaced; they currently have no way of getting him off the ballot. Lowey won the general election on November 2, 2010.

2010 United States House of Representatives elections in New York, District breakdown, District 23
Owens had won this seat in a 2009 special election by 48.7% to 46.5% (3024 votes) over Conservative Party of New York nominee Hoffman, after Republican Dierdre Scozzafava suspended her campaign and endorsed Owens less than three days before the election. Prominent Republicans, including former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, and former New York Governor George Pataki endorsed Hoffman instead of Scozzafava, who had been picked by Republican county chairs. While Barack Obama won a majority of the district's 2008 presidential votes, Democratic candidate Owens failed to secure a majority in the 2009 election. The district has rarely embraced Democratic Congressional candidates; Republicans had been elected continuously since the mid-19th century, and in three of the previous six Congressional elections the district's Conservative Party candidate received more votes than a Democratic Party candidate.

2010 United States House of Representatives elections in New York, District breakdown, District 27
Roberto declared his candidacy against Higgins on April 13, 2010. Although this is the same district formerly represented by Republican Jack Quinn, the district has a heavy Democratic voter enrollment advantage, and Higgins is generally popular in the district; as such, none of the major prognosticators consider this race to be competitive. The district includes Chautauqua County and a large portion of Erie County, including a portion of the city of Buffalo. Higgins won reelection on November 2, 2010.

Democratic, Working Families and Independence Party incumbent Louise Slaughter ran for reelection, challenged by Republican and Conservative Party nominee Jill A. Rowland.


2010 United States House of Representatives elections in New York, District breakdown, District 28
Two candidates were put forth by competing factions of the Tea Party movement. Rowland, a dentist, was originally mentioned as a candidate for Higgins's seat, but was persuaded by a faction of the party led by Rus Thompson to run against Slaughter instead. The faction led by James Ostrowski supported Michael Giuliano, a 29-year-old legal publication editor and attorney allied with Ron Paul, but Giuliano dropped out of the race in July 2010.


2010 United States House of Representatives elections in New York, District breakdown, District 28
Slaughter won against Eddie Egriu in the Democratic primary, and she is widely predicted to keep her seat without any serious competition. Fred Smerlas, a former Buffalo Bills defensive tackle who currently resides in Massachusetts, had expressed an interest in returning to Western New York to challenge her, but later stated that he would not do so this election cycle. Slaughter was criticized for supporting and helping pass the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, particularly her proposal (later abandoned) that would have allowed the Congress to "deem" the bill passed, and not have to vote on the bill itself. The district runs through much of the cities of Buffalo and Rochester and ends at Slaughter's house in Fairport. It is heavily Democratic (CPVI D+11) and Slaughter won the general election on November 2, 2010.


2010 United States House of Representatives elections in New York, District breakdown, District 29*
District 29 was an "open" seat. The candidates on the ballot were Democratic and Working Families nominee Matthew Zeller and Republican, Conservative and Independence Party nominee Tom Reed. "Tea Party" candidate Janice Volk is running as a write-in candidate. Tom Reed defeated Matthew Zeller for both the special election to fill the open seat and for the term beginning on January 3, 2011. On November 15, one day before his formal swearing-in ceremony to fill the seat left vacant by Massa, in Washington, D.C., Reed was hospitalized with blood clots in his lungs and was scheduled to be sworn in on Thursday, November 18, 2010.

Democratic incumbent Eric J. Massa won this district by 1.8 percentage points in 2008 over then-two-term incumbent John "Randy" Kuhl. The district leans Republican (CPVI R+5), voted for John McCain over Barack Obama by a 51-48 margin, and, accounting for redistricting, had been held by a Republicans for almost a century, except for Democrat Stan Lundine's time representing the area in the 1970s and 1980s. Massa had an active campaign war chest of over $38,000, most of it from labor union interests, and intended on using the fund for a 2010 campaign.


2010 United States House of Representatives elections in New York, District breakdown, District 29*
The NRCC had also targeted Massa for voting in favor of the Recovery and Reinvestment Act. However, on March 3, 2010, Massa announced that he would retire after his first term, following reports that he had suffered a recurrence of cancer and allegations of sexual harassment; Massa later announced his resignation effective March 8. Although Governor David Paterson planned on calling a special election for the same day as the general election, such a move does not appear to be legal under state law or the U.S. Constitution, and a pending lawsuit is attempting to force the governor into calling an election sooner.

Reed, the outgoing mayor of Corning, announced his candidacy in 2009 and is the Republican nominee. Monroe County executive Maggie Brooks, state senator Catharine Young and Kuhl himself publicly acknowledged they were considering the race, but all three backed Reed. Black conservative political activist Janice Volk filed petitions to challenge Reed in the Republican primary, but she fell less than 100 signatures short of making the ballot after her petitions were challenged by an apparent friend of the Reed campaign.


2010 United States House of Representatives elections in New York, District breakdown, District 29*
She then sought help from James Ostrowski on a third-party challenge on a line that Ostrowski dubs the "Tea Party", but the movement failed to collect enough petition signatures to get onto the ballot. She insists she is still running as a write-in candidate in the general election, since there will be no primary, and continues to have Ostrowski's support. Angelo Campini also had proposed a write-in campaign but bowed out shortly before the primary would have been held, endorsing Reed.

The Democrats selected Zeller as their candidate in the event of a special election. Zeller, who was largely unknown until his selection, does not live in the state of New York, and claims to be a "native" of several towns ranging from Rochester to the Southern Tier. Zeller was an ROTC-trained Army officer who served in Afghanistan and holds master's degrees in international relations and public administration.


2010 United States House of Representatives elections in New York, District breakdown, District 29*
Prior to Massa's abrupt departure from his re-election bid, Rothenberg had rated the race as "Leans Democratic" (down from "Democrat Favored"), stating that it could be a "major problem" for Massa if the Republicans choose a "strong challenger". Both Cook and CQ listed the race as "Leans Democratic." Larry Sabato had rated the race as a toss-up. Shortly after the departure, Rothenberg and CQ shifted the race to a toss-up and Cook moved it into the "Lean Republican" category. Sabato remained unchanged. National Review, on the other hand, considers the race to be one of the easiest of the competitive races for a Republican takeover, on the order of "defeating the St. Louis Rams" (the worst team in the NFL in 2009).

Reed defeated Zeller in both the special and general elections, with Volk only drawing a minimal share of the vote.

It was the last election for the (numerically) 29th district; the United States Census Bureau announced it would be stripping New York of two Congressional seats based on the results of the 2010 United States Census. It could possibly be dissolved, or renumbered with another county from the east (Tioga County) attached to it while another district (almost certain to be upstate, with candidates being the current 20th, 23rd, 24th or one of the Buffalo districts) is broken up.
