Indiana elections, 2014

A general election was held in the U.S. state of Indiana on November 4, 2014. Three of Indiana's executive officers were up for election as well as all of Indiana's nine seats in the United States House of Representatives. The Republican nominees won all three statewide elections and all of Indiana's U.S. Representatives were re-elected.

Incumbent Republican Secretary of State Connie Lawson, who was appointed to the office in 2012 after Charles P. White was removed from office due to felony convictions, ran for election to a first full term in office. She was unopposed for the Republican nomination.

The Democratic nominee was attorney and Marion County Clerk Beth White (no relation to Charles P. White). She was unopposed for the Democratic nomination.

The Libertarian nominee was Karl Tatgenhorst, a technology executive.

Republican State Treasurer Richard Mourdock was term-limited and unable to run for a third term in office in 2014. He resigned on August 29, 2014, the last day that state employees could retire before cuts to pension benefits took effect in September 2014. Republican Governor Mike Pence appointed chief financial officer and chief operating officer of the Indiana Finance Authority Daniel Huge to serve as interim treasurer until a longer-term replacement could be identified to finish the rest of Mourdock's term.

Three candidates ran for the Republican nomination: financial advisor and candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2010 and for Indiana's 6th congressional district in 2012 Don Bates;Marion Mayor and candidate for Indiana's 5th congressional district in 2012 Wayne Seybold; and director of the TrustINdiana local government investment pool and former Cass County County Commissioner Kelly Mitchell.
