 Government |
The 2010 Tennessee gubernatorial election took place on November 2, 2010, to elect the next governor of Tennessee, alongside other state and local elections. Incumbent Democratic governor Phil Bredesen was term-limited, and is prohibited by the Constitution of Tennessee from seeking a third consecutive term. Knoxville mayor and Republican nominee, Bill Haslam was elected with 65.0% of the vote, defeating Democratic nominee Mike McWherter.
The primary election was held on August 5, 2010, with Haslam and McWherter winning their respective parties' nominations.[2]
Haslam received endorsements from former U.S. senator Howard Baker and Congressman Jimmy Duncan.[3][4] The Tennessean wrote, "Haslam appears most likely to be able to ride Gov. Phil Bredesen's pro-business coattails, despite the different party affiliation."[4]
Haslam campaigned on his executive experience as both Knoxville's mayor and the president of a major company. His opponents attacked him as an oil executive, especially in the wake of price-gouging allegations levied against Pilot in the wake of the post-Hurricane Katrina fuel shortages, and criticized his refusal to release information related to his income while at Pilot.[5]
With this win, Haslam flipped the state into Republican control, with the state legislature also being controlled by Republicans. The last time Republicans held a government trifecta in the state was in 1869.[6] Ever since this election, Republicans have maintained their trifecta.
News organizations The Cook Political Report,[7] CQ Politics,[8] and The New York Times[9] rated the gubernatorial election as leaning Republican, while The Rothenberg Political Report rated it as "Republican favored,"[10] RealClearPolitics[11] and Sabato's Crystal Ball[12] as "Likely Republican", and Rasmussen Reports as "Solid Republican."[13]
