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]
