The district was previously represented by Donald Payne Jr.'s father, Donald M. Payne Sr., from 1989 to 2012, and became vacant as a result of the elder Payne's death on March 6, 2012. On November 15, 2012, Donald Payne Jr. was sworn into office and on January 3, 2013, he began serving his first full term.[3]
The 10th congressional district (together with the 9th) was created starting with the 58th United States Congress in 1903, based on redistricting predicated on the results of the 1900 census. It has been a Newark-based district since 1933, and has been in Democratic hands without interruption since 1949. With a Cook Partisan Voting Index rating of D+30, it is the most Democratic district in New Jersey.[2]
For the 118th and successive Congresses (based on redistricting following the 2020 census), the district contains all or portions of three counties and 18 municipalities.[4]
