The incumbent was Republican Bob Dold, who had represented the district since 2015 and previously from 2011 to 2013. He was elected with 51% of the vote in 2014, defeating Democratic incumbent Brad Schneider. The district had a PVI of D+8, which made the 10th congressional district the most Democratic district in the country represented by a Republican. As such, Dold was a top Democratic target.{{cite web|url=http://atr.rollcall.com/house-democrats-eyeing-five-rematches/|title=Democrats Eyeing 5 House Race Rematches in 2016|publisher=Roll Call|author=Abby Livingston|date=November 13, 2014|access-date=January 19, 2015|archive-date=November 17, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141117075211/http://atr.rollcall.com/house-democrats-eyeing-five-rematches/|url-status=dead}}
