The Pennsylvania gubernatorial election of 2010 was held on November 2, 2010. The winning candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor will serve a four-year term from 2011 to 2015. Candidates for Lieutenant Governor were nominated in a separate primary contest; however, the Lieutenant Governor, Jim Cawley, was elected on a joint ticket with the Governor in the general election. Incumbent Democratic Governor Ed Rendell was prohibited from seeking a third term under Pennsylvania's existing state law which limits governors to two consecutive four-year terms.
Republican candidate Tom Corbett defeated Democratic candidate Dan Onorato, in the general election.
