Oregon Elections, 2010 (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Elections were held in Oregon on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Primary elections took place on May 18, 2010. All five of Oregon's seats in the United States House of Representatives were up for re-election in 2010. All five incumbents ran for re-election, including Democrat David Wu in District 1, Republican Greg Walden in District 2, Democrat Earl Blumenauer in District 3, Democrat Peter DeFazio in District 4, and Democrat Kurt Schrader in District 5. Incumbent Governor Ted Kulongoski was term-limited. Former two-term governor John Kitzhaber, a Democrat, defeated the Republican nominee, former NBA player Chris Dudley. In May, incumbent Susan Castillo faced State Representative Ron Maurer for Superintendent of Public Instruction, a nonpartisan office. She received just over 50% of the vote, meaning that she was re-elected rather than facing a runoff in November.
