Note: Incumbent Brian McCall resigned effective April 2, 2010. Van Taylor defeated Mabrie Jackson in the April 13 Republican primary runoff. Since Taylor had no Democratic opposition in the 2010 general election, he was appointed to the seat. He was sworn into the chamber on April 20, 2010. After losing the primary runoff, Jackson withdrew from the May 8 special election for the remainder of McCall's term. However, because new ballots could not be printed in time, Jackson's name remained on the special election ballot. Jackson received more votes than Taylor in the special election but because she had already withdrawn, Taylor was declared the special election winner.[5]
