The 2010 election for Mayor of Newark took place in Newark, the most populous city in the state of New Jersey, on May 11, 2010. Elections for all seats on the nine member Municipal Council of Newark were held the same day. A runoff election, if necessary, would have taken place. Elections in the city are non-partisan and candidates are not listed by political party. Incumbent Mayor Cory Booker avoided a runoff and was re-elected to his second term in office.

Quick facts Candidate, Party ...

Booker would not serve out the entirety of his second term. In 2013, after having won the October 16 special election for U.S. senator, Booker resigned as mayor and was sworn in on October 31 as the junior U.S. senator from New Jersey.[2] Luis A. Quintana, long-term member of the Municipal Council, replaced him as interim mayor.[3] In 2019, he mounted a campaign to participate in 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries.
