Main article: Arizona gubernatorial election, 2014

Incumbent Republican Governor Jan Brewer was term-limited and could not run for re-election to a second full term in office. After a bitter six-candidate primary, Republicans nominated Arizona State Treasurer Doug Ducey; Democrat Fred DuVal, the former Chairman of the Arizona Board of Regents, won his party's nomination unopposed.

In the November 4, 2014 general election, Ducey won with 53% of the vote.

Secretary of State

Incumbent Republican Secretary of State Ken Bennett was term-limited and ineligible to run for re-election to a third term in office. He instead ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination for Governor.

Republican primary

Wil Cardon was initially considered the front-runner, but support for him collapsed in the wake of revelations that six of his siblings were suing him for more than $6 million of family money that they allege he used in his campaign for the U.S. Senate in 2012, despite it not being his to use.[1]

Candidates

Declared
  • Wil Cardon, businessman and candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2012[2]
