The 2010 St. Louis County Executive election took place on November 2, 2010. Incumbent County Executive Charlie Dooley ran for re-election to a second full term. He won the Democratic primary by a closer margin than expected,[1] and faced attorney Bill Corrigan, the Republican nominee, in the general election. Corrigan attacked Dooley over high county property tax rates, while Dooley emphasized his experience in managing the county through the economic crisis.[2] Dooley ended up defeating Corrigan to win re-election, receiving 51 percent of the vote to Corrigan's 47 percent.
