Hill;[28] and Constitution Party nominee Randall Hinton, a web developer,[29] also ran. Claudia Wright, a teacher, also sought the Democratic nomination.[30] Scott McCoy, a member of the Utah State Senate, suggested in November 2009 that Matheson should be challenged in the Democratic primary in response to his vote against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, but said he would not run.[31] Philpot was unopposed in the Republican primary.[9]
Matheson raised $1,803,801 and spent $2,465,527. Philpot raised $386,467 and spent the same amount. Glissmeyer raised $8,987 and spent $11,150.[32]

Prior to the election FiveThirtyEight's forecast gave Matheson an 87 percent chance of winning and projected that he would receive 53 percent of the vote to Philpot's 44 percent.[33] On election day Matheson was re-elected with 50 percent of the vote to Philpot's 46 percent.[14] Matheson was again re-elected in 2012[35] and retired rather than seeking re-election in 2014.[36] He was succeeded by Republican Mia Love.[37]
