District 2 thumb Kansas's 2nd congressional district Freshman incumbent Republican Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins, who was initially sent to Congress after defeating previous Congresswoman Nancy Boyda in 2008, was the only member of the Kansas congressional delegation to seek re-election this cycle. This conservative district that consists of most of eastern Kansas normally elects Republicans by large margins, so Congresswoman Jenkins was in no real danger of losing her seat to the Democratic nominee, community organizer Cheryl Hudspeth.

In the Republican primary, businessman Mike Pompeo edged out several rivals, including State Senator Jean Schodorf and businessman Wink Hartman. State Representative Raj Goyle, who raised eyebrows when he was elected to represent a conservative area in the Kansas House of Representatives, became the Democratic nominee. The general election was contentious, and sparks flew when the Pompeo campaign tweeted a link to a controversial blog that referred to Goyle as "just another 'turban topper' we don’t need in Congress or any political office that deals with the U.S. Constitution, Christianity, and the United States of America!"http://www.kansas.com/2010/08/13/1444816/gizes-to-goyle-for-link-to-slur.html Pompeo apologizes to Goyle for link to slur Wichita Eagle 2011-06-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20120402144949/http://www.kansas.com/2010/08/13/1444816/gizes-to-goyle-for-link-to-slur.html 2012-04-02 dead The tweet, recommending the piece as a "good read", led to an apology from Pompeo.Sam Stein https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mike-pompeo-gop-candidate_n_680612 Mike Pompeo, GOP Candidate, Apologizes For Tweet Attacking Challenger As An 'Evil' 'Turban Topper', Could-Be Muslim The Huffington Post New York City August 12, 2010 April 25, 2019 The Goyle camp attacked Pompeo for what they called "bigoted attacks" when a supporter of the Republican candidate sponsored billboards that said "Vote American, [v]ote Pompeo" and "True Americans vote for Pompeo."http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/31/raj-goyle-mike-pompeo-billboard_n_776659.html Kansas Billboard Urges Residents to 'Vote American' Against Indian-American Candidate HuffPost 31 October 2010 Pompeo went on to defeat Goyle, 59%-36%.http://elections.nytimes.com/2010/results/house House Results Map The New York Times Polling Poll source Dates administered MikePompeo (R) RajGoyle (D) David Moffett/Shawn Smith* (L) UndecidedSurvey USASurvey USA October 25–28, 2010 54% 38% 2%* 2%Cole HargraveCole Hargrave October 10–11, 2010 48% 31% - -Survey USASurvey USA October 6–7, 2010 53% 40% 2%* 3%Survey USASurvey USA September 14–15, 2010 50% 40% 3% 4%Gerstein AgneGerstein Agne September 8–9, 2010 46% 46% - -Gerstein Agne August 10–12, 2010 50% 47% - -Survey USASurvey USA August 9–11, 2010 49% 42% 4% 5% Predictions SourceRankingAs of The Cook Political ReportSafe R November 1, 2010 RothenbergSafe R November 1, 2010 Sabato's Crystal BallSafe R November 1, 2010RCPSafe R November 1, 2010CQ PoliticsSafe ROctober 28, 2010New York TimesSafe R November 1, 2010FiveThirtyEightSafe R November 1, 2010 Results Kansas's 4th congressional district election, 2010 Republican Party (United States) Mike Pompeo 119,575 58.79 Democratic Party (United States) Raj Goyle 74,143 36.45 Reform Party (United States) Susan G.
