Elections in Arkansas |
---|
The 2010 Arkansas gubernatorial election took place on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Incumbent Democratic Governor Mike Beebe ran for re-election, and faced former State Senator Jim Keet, whom he defeated in a landslide to win a second and final term as governor, despite the year being a Republican midterm wave year and Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln being unseated by a 21-point margin on the same ballot. Beebe's vote percentage and margin of victory was the highest of any Democratic gubernatorial candidate in the country that year.
To date, this alongside several concurrent elections are the last time that Democrats won a statewide election in Arkansas and the last time a candidate of either party carried every county in a contested election. This election is also the last time last time that a gubernatorial nominee and a lieutenant gubernatorial nominee of different political parties were elected in Arkansas.
