2010 United States House of Representatives elections in Minnesota

The 111th congressional delegation from the U.S. state of Minnesota had five Democratic Farmer Labor Party members (DFLers) and 3 Republicans.

All the incumbents were reelected except District 8's Jim Oberstar, who was defeated in his bid for a 19th term.

This left Minnesota with an equal number of Democratic and Republican representatives.

The table below shows the total number and percentage of votes, as well as the number of seats gained and lost by each political party in the election for the United States House of Representatives in Minnesota.

[3] Shortly after launching his campaign, Quist attracted controversy for a speech he gave at the Wabasha County Republicans' December 7 Christmas Party, in which he said: "Our country is being destroyed.

"[11] Walz won the general election on November 2 with 49% of the vote to Demmer's 44%.

Despite losing the DFL endorsement to Powers, Madore remained in the race, much to the anger of a number of party loyalists.

[3] Meffert lacked the funds to afford television advertising, but he gained some name recognition from the Paulsen campaign's attack ads.

Meffert responded to the attack: "It's the kind of thing that makes people cynical about politics and politicians when you hide behind a big bank account and you throw up an ad that's designed to tear down your opponent.

The DFL endorsed Tarryl Clark, the state senate assistant majority leader.

She was Bachmann's sole Democratic challenger, Maureen Reed having dropped out of the race in June.

A physician and former University of Minnesota regent chair, Reed threw her support behind Clark, saying she felt "it is time for the DFL to unify behind one candidate in this race".

Oberstar was the longest-serving congressman in Minnesota history and had never received less than 59% of the vote.

[56] Cravaack campaigned on a standard Republican platform of free-market principles and government spending cuts[57] while attacking Oberstar's vote for the ACA.
