Oregon legislative election, 2010

Voters' pamphlet for the 2010 general election

The 2010 elections for the Oregon Legislative Assembly determined the composition of both houses for the 76th Oregon Legislative Assembly. The Republican and Democratic primary elections were on May 18, 2010, and the general election was held on November 2, 2010. Sixteen of the Oregon State Senate's thirty seats were up for election, as were all 60 seats of the Oregon House of Representatives.

In the previous session, the Democrats held supermajorities in both chambers: 18–12 in the Senate and 36–24 in the House. Following the election, Republicans reduced the Democratic majority to 16–14 in the Senate and gained enough seats in the House to make the chamber evenly divided between the parties, 30–30.[1]

Oregon Senate

12 of the 16 Senate seats up for election were held by Democrats, and the other four seats were previously held by Republicans. The Republicans held all their seats and added two: in District 26, Chuck Thomsen defeated Brent Barton for the seat previously held by Rick Metsger, who resigned to run for Oregon State Treasurer, and in District 20, incumbent Democrat Martha Schrader lost to Republican Alan Olsen by 227 votes.[1]
