The 2010 Jackson Executive election took place on November 2, 2010. Incumbent Democratic County Executive Mike Sanders contemplated running for Mayor of Kansas City in 2011, but ultimately decided to run for re-election to a second term. He was unopposed in the Democratic primary, and faced former County Legislator Robert Stringfield, the Republican nominee, and retiree Junior Tolbert, the Reform Party nominee, in the general election. Sanders, a "popular incumbent," significantly outraged his opponents, and won the endorsement of the Kansas City Star, and won his second term in a landslide, receiving 64 percent of the vote.
