The 2010 United States Senate election in Arkansas took place on November 2, 2010 alongside other elections to the United States Senate in other states, as well as elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.

Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln ran for re-election to a third term, but lost to Republican nominee John Boozman, the younger brother of Fay Boozman whom Senator Lincoln defeated in 1998. Boozman became the first Republican in 138 years to win this seat.

Democratic primary

The Democratic primary was held on May 18, 2010, with early voting from May 3 to 17. As no candidate received 50 percent of the vote, a runoff election was held on June 8, with early voting from June 1 to 7.^[1]

MoveOn.org supported Halter, criticizing Lincoln for her stance on issues such as health care and environmental regulations.^[2] Labor unions also backed Halter, and pledged to spend more than $3 million on his campaign.^[3]

Campaign

Arkansas had previously only elected one Republican senator since the Reconstruction, who was defeated after his first term in 2002 by Mark Pryor. Lincoln faced Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter and narrowly won the primary contest.

The political blog FiveThirtyEight ranked Lincoln the most vulnerable senator of this electoral cycle. RealClearPolitics claimed that in 2010 Lincoln had the potential for the lowest percentage of the vote for any incumbent since the nation first began directly electing senators.^[20] Boozman received 58% of the vote in the general election and defeated Lincoln (37%), Libertarian Trevor Drown (3%) and Green John Gray (2%).

Lincoln heavily criticized Boozman of supporting the FairTax and privatization of Social Security.^[21] She released an advertisement touting her support for earmarks.^[22]

Debates

Lincoln and Boozman agreed to two debates.

September 10: At the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock.^[23]
