This election took place alongside races for U.S. President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, governor, state senate, and numerous other state and local elections.

The Democratic primary in the three-seat 10th district resulted in a tie. The three highest-voted candidates in the primary would advance to the general election, and Iris McCrady and Tim Fittro tied for third-place, each with 3,304 votes. The coin toss to determine the third Democratic nominee was won by McCrady, who went on to lose the general election, placing sixth in a field of three Democrats and three Republicans.
