The 2010 Macomb County Executive election was held on November 2, 2010. The 2010 election was the first election for the position after voters approved the Macomb County Charter in a 2009 election. Sheriff Mark Hackel won the Democratic nomination unopposed and faced Republican nominee Randell Shafer, a retired U.S. Army officer, and former St. Clair Shores City Councilwoman Erin Stahl, the Libertarian nominee, in the general election. Despite Republicans' success in the state in 2010, Hackel defeated Shafer by a landslide to win his first term.
