Democrat Jim Marshall, who took office in 2003, was the incumbent. Marshall was re-elected in 2008 with 57 percent of the vote.[119] In 2010 Marshall's opponent in the general election was Republican nominee Austin Scott, a member of the Georgia House of Representatives.[121] Marshall was unopposed in the Democratic primary.[23] Ken DeLoach, a school administrator; and Diane Vann, a former nurse, also sought the Republican nomination.[122] Paul Rish, the former head of the Bibb County Republican Party, ended his campaign in April 2010.[123] Angela Hicks, a businesswoman, ended her campaign for the Republican nomination in May 2010.[124]
Marshall raised $1,496,152 and spent $1,814,549. Scott raised $1,035,300 and spent $1,024,631.[125] DeLoach raised $30,941 and spent the same amount.[126] Vann raised no money and spent $17,293.[127] Hicks raised $78,171 and spent the same amount.[128]
In a poll conducted by American Viewpoint (AV) for Scott's campaign in late July 2010, Marshall led with 44 percent to Scott's 39 percent.[129] A poll of 400 likely voters, conducted by Grove Insight for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee between September 13 and 15, 2010, Marshall led with 48 percent to Scott's 36 percent.[130] An AV poll of 300 likely voters, conducted on September 26 and 27, 2010 and released by Scott's campaign, found Scott leading with 46 percent to Marshall's 38 percent.[131] In a poll of 400 likely voters, conducted by the Mellman Group between October 17 and 19, 2010, 47 percent of respondents supported Marshall while 44 percent favored Scott and 9 percent were undecided.[132] A poll conducted by Landmark Communications, Inc. (LCI) on October 19, 2010, with a sample size of 763, found Scott leading with 54 percent to Marshall's 35 percent, while 14 percent were undecided.[133] In a poll of 400 likely voters, conducted by Penn Schoen Berland between October 19 and 21, 2010, Scott led with 50 percent to Marshall's 37 percent while 10 percent were undecided.[134] In a poll of 1,133 likely voters, conducted by LCI on October 26, 2010, Scott led with 53 percent to Marshall's 39 percent.[135]
Sabato's Crystal Ball rated the race as "leans Republican".[5] In October 2010 The Cook Political Report rated the race as a "toss up"[6] and CQ Politics rated the race as a "tossup".[2] In November 2010 The Rothenberg Political Report rated the race as "lean Republican".[3] Prior to the election FiveThirtyEight's forecast gave Scott a 94 percent chance of winning and projected that he would receive 56 percent of the vote to Marshall's 44 percent.[136]
On election day Scott was elected with 53 percent of the vote to Marshall's 47 percent.[137] Scott was re-elected in 2012[49] and 2014.[138] In 2012 Marshall became president and chief executive officer of the United States Institute of Peace,[139] stepping down in January 2014.[140]

Regina Thomas, a former member of the Georgia State Senate, also sought the Democratic nomination.[178] Thomas also planned to run as a write-in candidate in the general election,[179] but in August 2010 the office of the Secretary of State of Georgia ruled that she was ineligible to do so.[180] In March 2010 John McArdle of CQ Politics wrote that the name of Michael Thurmond, the state Labor Commissioner, was "being floated by Georgia insiders" as a potential candidate in the Democratic primary;[181] however in April 2010 Thurmond announced he would run for the U.S. Senate.[182] Lester Jackson, another member of the State Senate, said in April 2010 that he would seek re-election rather than challenging Barrow for the Democratic nomination.[183]

In October 2010 The Cook Political Report rated the race as "likely Democratic".[6] The same month John Fund of The Wall Street Journal included the race as one of "five races that could deliver upset victories", on grounds that the district had voted for George W. Bush in the 2004 presidential election.[194] Prior to the election FiveThirtyEight's forecast gave Barrow a 100 percent chance of winning and projected that he would receive 60 percent of the vote to McKinney's 38 percent.[195] On election day Barrow was re-elected with 57 percent of the vote to McKinney's 43 percent.[196] Barrow was again re-elected in 2012[197] and unsuccessfully sought re-election in 2014.
