Arizona elections, 2014


A general election was held in the U.S. state of Arizona on November 4, 2014. All of Arizona's executive officers were up for election as well as all of Arizona's nine seats in the United States House of Representatives. Primary elections were held on August 26, 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.

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.

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.

Incumbent Republican Attorney General Tom Horne ran for re-election to a second term in office. Horne, who was under investigation for multiple violations of election laws, was considered vulnerable in both the primary and general elections. Various Arizona Republicans called for him to resign or endorsed his opponent.

Incumbent Republican State Treasurer Doug Ducey is not running for re-election to a second term in office. He is instead the Republican nominee for Governor.
