The California state elections, November 2010 were held on November 2, 2010.
On a year marked by a strong Republican wave nationwide, the State of California elected Democrats to the state's top offices of Governor , Lieutenant Governor , State Controller , State Treasurer , Superintendent of Public Education , Insurance Commissioner and United States Senator . On November 24, 2010, the California Democratic Party set a record for winning every statewide elected office in California in a single election when the last outstanding race - the one for Attorney General - was decided in Kamala Harris 's favor. Because fellow Democrat Dianne Feinstein holds the other Senate seat that was not up for election in 2010, the Democrats held every statewide elected office in California beginning in 2011.
