In 2010, state senate elections are being held in 43 states, with 1,167 state senate seats at stake. A total of 19 challengers in 11 states defeated an incumbent state senator, including 12 Democrats and 7 Republicans.

There was no primary challenger in 708 of the 1,167 state senate districts in play in 2010, leaving 459 districts with a primary. The 19 challengers who toppled an incumbent represent 4.1% of all incumbent-challenger primary contests in 2010, and 1.6% of all state senate seats at stake in the year.

Six of the victorious challengers were from Maryland. Minnesota, New York and West Virginia each had two successful primary challengers, while Alabama, Arizona, Iowa, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin and Nevada had one each.

(Note: The incumbent defeated by Lori Klein in Arizona had only been in office starting in 2010 as an appointee.)
