Elections were held for all Arizona's congressional districts, with elections in the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 8th congressional districts being among the more heavily contended.

Republican John Shadegg, the incumbent in the 3rd district, announced that he would not seek re-election on January 14, 2010.^[3] On the Republican side, Ben Quayle, son of former vice-president Dan Quayle, announced his on February 12, 2010,^[4][5] despite never voting in a local election.^[6] Other notable Republicans in the race include former state representative Sam Crump, former state senators Pamela Gorman and Jim Waring, and former Paradise Valley Mayor Vernon Parker.

Governor

Main article: 2010 Arizona gubernatorial election

On January 20, 2009, Janet Napolitano was confirmed as United States Secretary of Homeland Security by Barack Obama and resigned as governor the next day.^[10] Since Arizona does not have a lieutenant governor, Secretary of State Jan Brewer took over office. Brewer announced her intentions to run for full term in November 2009.^[11] The other Republican candidates were state treasurer Dean Martin, Owen "Buz" Mills, former Arizona Board of Regents president John Munger, Matthew Jette, and Tom Gordon.^[12] At one point, Sheriff Joe Arpaio was considering a run for governor, but eventually declined.^[13] On June 2, 2010, John Munger dropped out of the race.^[14]

The only Democratic challenger was Attorney General Terry Goddard.^[12] The Libertarian Party had Ronald Cavanaugh, Bruce Olsen, Alvin Ray Yount, and Barry Hess facing off while Larry Gist was on the ballot for the Green Party.^[12]

Jan Brewer won the Republican primary with approximately 80% of the vote while Democrat Terry Goddard moved on with no opposition. Barry Hess won the Libertarian primary and Larry Gist won the Green primary. Incumbent Jan Brewer won the election with 54.3% of the vote.
