In 2008, state senator John Adler defeated Chris Myers, a town councilman, with 52% of the vote, while Barack Obama carried the district with the same amount in the presidential election.

Retired NFL player Jon Runyan was a star offensive lineman who played most of his career with the nearby Philadelphia Eagles as the South Jersey district is a suburb of Philadelphia. With $1.7 million in Adler's campaign account back in April, he had a major cash advantage.

Campaign

On October 8, 2010, the Courier-Post reported that Steve Ayscue, the head of operations for the Camden County Democratic Committee, and Geoff Mackler, an employee of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sent to manage Adler's campaign, had orchestrated the paper candidacy of Peter DeStefano on the "NJ Tea Party" line. They presented the plan at Camden County headquarters during a May 26 meeting of the South Jersey Young Democrats, and some of those present joined in circulating a petition to place DeStefano on the ballot. The Courier-Post also reported that Ayscue actively managed social media accounts on behalf of the DeStefano campaign, according to a Democratic operative with knowledge of the Adler campaign.
