[86]

Republican Roy Blunt, who took office in 1997, was the incumbent. Blunt, the father of Governor Matt Blunt, was re-elected in 2008 with 68 percent of the vote. [86] In 2010 he ran for the U.S. Senate rather than seeking re-election. [8]

The candidates in the general election were Republican nominee Billy Long, an auctioneer; [88] and Democratic nominee Scott Eckersley, an attorney who previously worked for Governor Blunt. [89] Libertarian Party nominee Kevin Craig and write-in candidate Nicholas Ladendorf also ran. [90]

Jack Goodman, a member of the Missouri Senate; Steve Hunter, a former member of the Missouri House of Representatives; Mike Moon, a farmer; Darrell Moore, the Greene County prosecuting attorney; Gary Nodler, a member of the Missouri Senate; Michael Wardell, a small business owner; and Jeff Wisdom, an Iraq War veteran, also sought the Republican nomination. [91] Sarah Steelman, the former State Treasurer of Missouri, announced in September 2009 that she would not run in the 7th district in 2010. [92] Tim Davis, an attorney, also sought the Democratic nomination. [91]

Long raised $1,260,007 and spent $1,230,604. Eckersley raised $186,310 and spent the same amount. [93] Goodman raised $482,233 and spent $478,534. [94] Moon raised $25,279 and spent $25,278. [95] Moore raised $45,424 and spent $44,977. [96] Nodler raised $383,130 and spent $380,240. [97] Wisdom raised $20,101 and spent $20,080. [98] Davis raised $24,119 and spent $22,928. [99]

In a poll of 198 registered voters, conducted by KY3 and Missouri State University (MSU) between August 7 and August 22, 2010, Long led with 51 percent to Eckersley's 23 percent. [61] A poll of 199 likely voters, conducted by MSU's Center for Social Sciences and Public olicy Research between October 20 and 27, 2010, found Long leading with 56 percent to Eckersley's 23 percent while 7 percent supported Craig, 1 percent favored other candidates, and 13 percent were undecided. [63] Prior to the election FiveThirtyEight's forecast gave Long a 100 percent chance of winning and projected that he would receive 69 percent of the vote to Eckersley's 28 percent. [100] Eckersley increased his share of the voting to more than 30 percent, but Long was elected with 63 percent of the vote. [19] Long was re-elected in 2012 [84] and 2014. [101]

On October 29, 2010, an email was sent to local media, purportedly by Eckersley, which falsely claimed that he had ended his campaign. At least one television station inaccurately reported the story as fact. Eckersley later filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) alleging that Long may have been involved in the hoax. The FEC investigated and reported in 2013 that the emails had come from Patrick Binning, a political consultant, and that Binning had acted independently of Long's campaign. As the FEC found no evidence that Long's campaign or the Republican Party was involved, under the law electoral fraud had not occurred. [102]

In a poll of 400 likely voters, conducted on April 19 and 20, 2010, by American Viewpoint (AV) for Emerson's campaign, Emerson led with 71 percent to Sowers's 18 percent. [112] A poll of 171 registered voters, conducted by KY3 and Missouri State University between August 7 and 22, 2010, found Emerson leading with 64 percent to Sowers's 17 percent while 3 percent supported other candidates. [61] An AV poll of 400 likely voters, conducted on September 13 and 14, 2010, found Emerson had the support of 63 percent while 24 percent backed Sowers. [113]

Prior to the election FiveThirtyEight's forecast gave Emerson a 100 percent chance of winning and projected that she would receive 68 percent of the vote to Sowers's 29 percent. [114] On election day Emerson was re-elected with 66 percent of the vote to Sowers's 29 percent. [19] Emerson was again re-elected in 2012 [84] and resigned from Congress in January 2013. [115] She was succeeded by Jason T. Smith. [116] In August 2012 Sowers was confirmed as Assistant Secretary for Public and Intergovernmental Affairs at the Department of Veterans Affairs. [117]
