Louisiana's congressional districts in 2010

Elections were held on November 2, 2010 to determine Louisiana's seven members of the United States House of Representatives. Representatives were elected for two-year terms to serve in the 112th United States Congress from January 3, 2011 until January 3, 2013. Primary elections were held on August 28, 2010,[1] and a runoff election for the Republican Party nomination in the 3rd district took place on October 2, 2010.[2]

Of the seven elections, the 2nd district was rated as competitive by CQ Politics[3] and the 2nd and 3rd districts were rated as competitive by The Cook Political Report,[4] The Rothenberg Political Report[5] and Sabato's Crystal Ball.[6][7] Five of Louisiana's seven incumbents (Republicans Steve Scalise of the 1st district, John Fleming of the 4th district, Rodney Alexander of the 5th district, Bill Cassidy of the 6th district and Charles Boustany of the 7th district) were re-elected.[8] Of the two who were not re-elected, one (Democrat Joseph Cao of the 2nd district) unsuccessfully sought re-election,[9] and one (Democrat Charlie Melancon of the 3rd district) ran for the U.S. Senate instead of seeking re-election.[10]

In Louisiana, candidates affiliated with parties that are not recognized by the state are listed on the ballot as "Other", while independent candidates are listed as "No Party".[11] In total, six Republicans and one Democrat were elected.[8] A total of 1,035,947 votes were cast, of which 675,386 (65 percent) were for Republican candidates, 311,221 (30 percent) were for Democratic candidates, 42,241 (4 percent) were for independent candidates and 7,099 (1 percent) were for unrecognized parties' candidates.[12]

Its median income was $50,725.[14] In the 2008 presidential election the district gave 72 percent of its vote to Republican nominee John McCain and 26 percent to Democratic nominee Barack Obama.[13]

Republican Steve Scalise, who took office in May 2008, was the incumbent. Scalise was re-elected in November 2008 with 66 percent of the vote.[13] In 2010 his opponent in the general election was Democratic nominee Myron Katz, who ran with the intention of raising awareness about energy conservation in homebuilding. Former lawyer Arden Wells, who does not belong to a party recognized by the state of Louisiana, also ran.[15]

Scalise raised $1,358,024 and spent $1,007,474. Katz raised $64,420 and spent $60,708.[16] Prior to the election FiveThirtyEight's forecast gave Scalise a 100 percent chance of winning and projected that he would receive 72 percent of the vote to Katz's 25 percent.[17] On election day Scalise was re-elected with 79 percent of the vote to Katz's 19 percent.[18] Scalise was again re-elected in 2012[19] and 2014.[20]
