United States gubernatorial elections were held on November 4, 2014, in 36 states and three territories, concurrent with other elections during the2014 United States elections.
The Republicans defended 22 seats, compared to the Democrats' 14. The Republicans held open seats inArizona,Nebraska, andTexas; and gained open Democratic-held seats inMassachusetts,Maryland, andArkansas. RepublicanBruce Rauner also defeated Democratic incumbentPat Quinn inIllinois. The only Republican losses were incumbentsTom Corbett ofPennsylvania, who lost to DemocratTom Wolf; andSean Parnell ofAlaska, who lost to independentBill Walker. Democrats held their open seat inRhode Island, as well asHawaii, where incumbent governorNeil Abercrombie was defeated in the primary.
All totaled, the Republicans had a net gain of two seats (giving them 31 total), the Democrats had a net loss of three seats (leaving them with 18 total), and an independent picked up one seat (giving them 1 total). As a result of these races, RepublicanTerry Branstad was re-elected to his sixth full four-year term as governor ofIowa, and thus became the longest-serving governor in U.S. history.[2]
As of 2026, this is the last time that Republicans have won gubernatorial races in Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, New Mexico, and Wisconsin; that Democrats won races in New Hampshire and Vermont; that a candidate outside of the two major parties won the governorship of Alaska or any state; and that Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin did not vote for gubernatorial candidates of the same party.[3]
Several sites and individuals published predictions of competitive seats. These predictions looked at factors such as the strength of theincumbent (if the incumbent is running for re-election), the strength of the candidates, and the partisan leanings of the state (reflected in part by the state'sCook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assigned ratings to each seat, with the rating indicating the predicted advantage that a party has in winning that seat.

GovernorJan Brewer was term-limited in 2014 despite only serving one full term, as Arizona state law limits office holders to two consecutive terms, regardless of whether they are full or partial terms. In November 2012, Brewer declared she was looking into what she called "ambiguity" in Arizona's term-limit law to seek a second full four-year term.[69]
On March 12, 2014, Brewer announced she would not seek re-election to another four-year term, which would have required a "longshot court challenge" to theArizona Constitution.
