United States House of Representatives elections in Arkansas, 2010[1]
This was an open seat, as Democratic incumbent Marion Berry retired.
Berry had always been reelected in this district by a wide margin since his first reelection campaign in 1998, and was unopposed in 2008. The district was very Republican (giving only 38% to Obama) on a national level despite a long history of electing Democrats to local and state level offices.
This district was represented by seven term Democrat Vic Snyder who was unchallenged in 2008 and received 70% of the vote. Snyder announced that he would retire in 2010, reportedly after polls showed him trailing Republican Tim Griffin.[4]
This district was represented by Republican John Boozman. Boozman has formally announced his 2010 plans for the U.S. Senate, against Blanche Lincoln.[6] The district (comprising the northwest part of the state) has been held by the GOP since 1966.
