The '''2010 California gubernatorial election''' was held November 2, 2010, to elect the [[Governor of California|governor]] of [[California]]. The primary elections were held on June 8, 2010. Because constitutional office holders in California have been prohibited from serving more than two terms in the same office since November 6, 1990, [[incumbent]] [[California Republican Party|Republican]] [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]] was ineligible to run for re-election due to term limits. Former governor [[Jerry Brown]], to whom the term limits did not apply due to a grandfather clause, defeated [[Meg Whitman]] in the general election and was sworn into office on January 3, 2011. As of 2025, this remains the most recent time the governor's office in California has changed partisan control.

Both Whitman and Brown were criticized for [[negative campaigning]] during the election.<ref name=NPRads/> During their final debate at the 2010 [[Women's Conference]] a week before the election, moderator [[Matt Lauer]] asked both candidates to pull attack ads for the rest of the election, which elicited loud cheers from the audience.<ref name=NPRads>[https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130852376 Whitman, Brown In The Hot Seat Over Negative Ads] by Ina Jaffe.</ref> Brown agreed and picked one ad each of his and Whitman's that he thought, if Whitman would agree, should be the only ones run, but Whitman, who had been loudly cheered earlier as the prospective first woman governor of the state, was booed when she stated that she would keep "the ads that talk about where Gov. Brown stands on the issues."<ref name=PBSads>[https://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2010/10/the-morning-line-negative-ads-put-front-and-center-in-race-for-california-governor.html Brown, Whitman Challenged to Pull Negative Ads in California Governor Race] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140118183141/http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2010/10/the-morning-line-negative-ads-put-front-and-center-in-race-for-california-governor.html |date=2014-01-18 }} PBS Newshour, [[David Chalian]] and Terrance Burlij, October 27, 2010.</ref>

The ''Los Angeles Times'' reported that nearly $250 million was spent on the Governor's race.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/california-politics/2010/11/political-flashback-most-expensive-governors-race-in-state-history-ends-with-a-flurry-of-campaigning.html | work=Los Angeles Times | title=PolitiCal}}</ref> At least two spending records were broken during the campaign. Whitman broke personal spending records by spending $140 million of her own money on the campaign,<ref name="CNNFantz">[http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/11/03/how-jerry-brown-got-back-in-the-governors-saddle/?hpt=C1 "How Jerry Brown got back in the governor's saddle"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170116180049/http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/11/03/how-jerry-brown-got-back-in-the-governors-saddle/?hpt=C1 |date=January 16, 2017 }}, Ashley Fantz, CNN, November 3, 2010. Fetched from URL on November 3, 2010.</ref> and independent expenditures exceeded $31.7 million, with almost $25 million of that spent in support of Brown.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/california-politics/2010/11/independent-spending-for-2010-campaign-sets-record-.html | work=Los Angeles Times | title=PolitiCal}}</ref>

In an interview with CNN, the reporter opined that Whitman was hurt most during the campaign by a matter involving [[Nicky Diaz]], her former Mexican maid, whom Whitman fired after Diaz asked for help as she was an [[illegal immigrant]].<ref name="CNNFantz" />

As of 2024, this is the last time the [[American Independent Party]] ran in a California gubernatorial election.
