New Mexico elections, 2014

A general election was held in the U.S. state of New Mexico on November 4, 2014. All of New Mexico's executive officers were up for election as well as a United States Senate seat, and all of New Mexico's three seats in the United States House of Representatives. Primary elections were held on June 3, 2014.

Incumbent Republican Governor Susana Martinez ran for re-election to a second term in office.

Four Democrats ran for their party's nomination: Attorney General of New Mexico Gary King, State Senator Linda M. Lopez, State Senator Howie Morales, former State Executive Director of the Farm Service Agency Lawrence Rael and businessman Alan Webber.

King won the primary with 35% of the vote.

Unlike most states, in New Mexico, the candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor were elected in separate primaries. The winning candidates then run together on the same ticket.

Incumbent Republican Lieutenant Governor John Sanchez was running for re-election to a second term.

Deb Haaland was running for the Democrats. Marie Julienne had been running, but was disqualified. Chocolatier Chuck Higgins had also been in the running, but he withdrew.

Incumbent Democratic Attorney General Gary King was term-limited and could not run for re-election to a third term in office. He instead ran for governor.
