Boundaries beginning January 2019 | |
Current Representative | Tom Marino (R–Williamsport) |
Cook PVI | R+6[1] |
Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District is newly located in the south-central region of the state. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania redrew the district in 2018 after ruling the previous map unconstitutional, adding State College while removing some Democratic-leaning areas and redesignating it the twelfth district. The new tenth district boundaries encompass the cities of Harrisburg and York in the south-central part of the state, with representation by Republican Scott Perry, of the old fourth district.[2]
The district was one of the 12 original districts created prior to the 4th Congress, and was represented by Republican Tom Marino, who defeated Democratic incumbent Chris Carney during the 2010 U.S. House elections. In 2006, the 10th district experienced one of the greatest party shifts among all House seats that switched party control: in 2004, Republican Don Sherwood won with an 86% margin of victory over his nearest opponent and two years later, Carney unseated Sherwood by a 53%–47% margin.[3] In 2008, Carney won reelection by 12 points but the district swung back in 2010, electing Tom Marino. The district is mostly Republican in its political composition, an aspect of the district that is reflected especially well in presidential elections. In 2004, President George W. Bush won 60 percent of the vote in the district and in 2008, Senator John McCain beat Senator Barack Obama here by a margin of 54 percent to 45 percent. Nonetheless, Carney easily won reelection as a Democrat the same year McCain won the district. However, in the 2010 midterm elections, Marino unseated Carney by a 55%–45% margin. In 2016, local business man and former mayor of Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, Mike Molesevich challenged Marino for the seat, but he fell to the Republican in November by more than two to one. Marino remains the congressman in the 10th district, but now lives in the newly drawn 12th Congressional District.

2016 Election[edit]
Primary[edit]
Rep. Tom Marino declared his intent to run for his 4th term and was uncontested in the Republican Primary. Originally, no Democratic candidates filed to run for office, upon this revelation, Mike Molesevich, an environmental contractor and former Lewisburg Mayor, announced he would seek a write in campaign to get on the general election ballot.[9][10] Write-in candidates need over 1,000 votes in the Primary election to appear on the ballot in the 2016 general election.[11] Mike Molesevich succeeded in his effort, receiving 2425 votes, earning a spot on the general election ballot.[12]Jerry Kairnes of Lycoming County announced that he would seek to be on the November ballot as an Independent, but dropped out after Molesevich earned a spot on the ballot[13]
