The 2010 United States House of Representatives elections in New Jersey were held on November 4, 2010, to elect the 13 U.S. representatives from the state of New Jersey, one from each of the state's 13 congressional districts. The primary election in which candidates were chosen took place on June 8, 2010.

As of 2026, this is the last election in which the Republican Party won a plurality of the statewide popular vote for United States House, even though they did not win a majority of congressional seats. As a result, New Jersey became one of four states in which the party that won the state's popular vote did not win a majority of seats in 2010, the other states being Iowa, Illinois, and North Carolina.

In 2008, state senator John Adler defeated Chris Myers, a town councilman, with 52% of the vote, while Barack Obama carried the district with the same amount in the presidential election.

Retired NFL player Jon Runyan was a star offensive lineman who played most of his career with the nearby Philadelphia Eagles as the South Jersey district is a suburb of Philadelphia. With $1.7 million in Adler's campaign account back in April, he had a major cash advantage.

Campaign

On October 8, 2010, the Courier-Post reported that Steve Ayscue, the head of operations for the Camden County Democratic Committee, and Geoff Mackler, an employee of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sent to manage Adler's campaign, had orchestrated the paper candidacy of Peter DeStefano on the "NJ Tea Party" line. They presented the plan at Camden County headquarters during a May 26 meeting of the South Jersey Young Democrats, and some of those present joined in circulating a petition to place DeStefano on the ballot.^[16] The Courier-Post also reported that Ayscue actively managed social media accounts on behalf of the DeStefano campaign, according to a Democratic operative with knowledge of the Adler campaign.^[16]
