Massachusetts's 10th congressional district is a political constituency that includes parts of the South Shore of Massachusetts, and all of Cape Cod and the islands. With a population (as of 2000) of 635,901 and a land area of 934.25 square miles (2,419.7 km2), it is the most populous of Massachusetts's ten congressional districts and the second largest by area. The District has existed since 1795, but will become obsolete for the 113th Congress in 2013 as district lines get redrawn to accommodate the loss of the seat due to apportionment as a result of the 2010 Census.[1]

It is currently represented in the United States House of Representatives by Democrat William R. Keating. With a Cook PVI of D+5, it is the most conservative district in the heavily Democratic state of Massachusetts. Previous Representative Bill Delahunt announced on March 5, 2010 that he would not run for reelection[2], setting off a scramble among both Democrats and Republicans to succeed him. On November 2, 2010 Bill Keating won the general election, defeating Republican nominee Jeff Perry by a margin of over 12,700 votes.
