During the Fall 2010 general election, Arizona citizens voted for Governor, one senate seat, 8 House of Representative seats, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Treasurer, Corporation Commissioner and Superintendent of Public Instruction. The citizens also voted on 10 major ballot measures.

Incumbent Jan Brewer held on to her Governor's position, despite sharp swings in her public approval ratings due to tax increase proposals and illegal immigration measures. Incumbent John McCain, the former presidential candidate, sailed to an easy win over his Democratic rival, Rodney Glassman.http://elections.nytimes.com/2010/results/arizona

Republicans Gosar, Franks, Quayle, Schwikert and Flake won House seats for districts 1, 2, 3,5 and 6 respectively. Pastor (D) took a commanding lead to win district 4's House seat. With more than 99% of the votes tallied, seats for district 7 and 8 were too close to call, but Grijalva and Giffords have slight leads.http://elections.nytimes.com/2010/results/arizona

Secretary of State was held by incumbent Ken Bennett (R). With over 50% reporting, Tom Horne (R) is leading for Attorney General, Doug Ducey (R) is leading for Treasurer, Brenda Burns (R) and Gary Pierce (R) both won seats for Corporate Commissioner and John Huppenthal (R) won for Superintendent of Public Instruction.http://elections.nytimes.com/2010/results/arizona

On the major ballot measures, the attack on the federal health care law, measure 105 was approved which prevents mandated health care. The right for a secret ballot for unionization and no preferential treatment based on sex and race were also approved. The constitutional right to hunt and fish, have the lieutenant governor replace the secretary of state, transfer of "land conservation fund" to the general fund and the termination of early childhood programs were defeated. Three other initiatives were too close to call with over 99% of votes recorded, but were trending towards a negative outcome.http://elections.nytimes.com/2010/results/arizona
