context_page_description: Elections were held on November 2, 2010 to determine North Carolina's 13 members of the United States House of Representatives. Representatives were elected for two-year-terms to serve in the 112th United States Congress from January 3, 2011 until January 3, 2013. Primary elections were held on May 4, 2010 and primary runoff elections were held on June 22, 2010.
  Of the 13 elections, the races in the 2nd, 8th and 11th districts were rated as competitive by Sabato's Crystal Ball, while the 2nd, 7th, 8th and 11th districts were rated as competitive by CQ Politics and The Rothenberg Political Report, and the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th and 11th districts were rated as competitive by The Cook Political Report. Of North Carolina's 13 incumbents, 12 were re-elected while one unsuccessfully sought re-election.
  In total, seven Democrats and six Republicans were elected. A total of 2,662,529 votes were cast, of which 1,440,913 were for Republican candidates, 1,204,635 were for Democratic candidates, 16,562 were for Libertarian candidates and 439 were for write-in candidates. As of 2016, this is the last time that Democrats won a majority of North Carolina's congressional districts.
context_section_description: The 13th district included parts of Greensboro, Raleigh and Wake Forest. The district's population was 59 percent white, 28 percent black and 9 percent Hispanic (see Race and ethnicity in the United States Census); 84 percent were high school graduates and 30 percent had received a bachelor's degree or higher. Its median income was $46,900. In the 2008 presidential election the district gave 59 percent of its vote to Democratic nominee Barack Obama and 40 percent to Republican nominee John McCain.
  Democrat Brad Miller, who took office in 2003, was the incumbent. Miller was re-elected in 2008 with 66 percent of the vote. In 2010 Miller's opponent in the general election was Republican nominee Bill Randall, a U.S. Navy retiree. Miller was unopposed in the Democratic primary. Dan Huffman, an engineer and business owner; Frank Hurley, a retired aerospace engineer; and Bernie Reeves, a magazine publisher, also sought the Republican nomination.
  Miller raised $930,351 and spent $899,442. Randall raised $200,449 and spent $198,055. Huffman raised $42,257 and spent the same amount. Reeves raised $277,361 and spent $275,366.
  Prior to the election FiveThirtyEight's forecast gave Miller a 99 percent chance of winning and projected that he would receive 60 percent of the vote. On election day Miller was re-elected with 55 percent of the vote to Randall's 45 percent. Miller retired rather than seeking re-election in 2012 and was succeeded by Republican George Holding.
