Aprimary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Maryland law stipulates that political parties can determine for themselves who may participate in their primary elections. As of October 2025, both the Democratic and Republican parties operated aclosed primary where only a voter affiliated with the party may vote in a party's primary.[1]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, seethis article.

The state lost trifecta status because Hogan and Rutherford won the 2014 election. Before the general election, both legislative chambers and the governor's seat were controlled by the Democratic Party, earning it the label of a state governmenttrifecta.

Race background

Democratic nomination

IncumbentMartin O'Malley (D) was prevented byterm limits from seeking a third consecutive term in office.

FormerLieutenant GovernorAnthony Brown officially launched his 2014 gubernatorial campaign on May 10, 2013. If he had won, Brown would have been the first lieutenant governor since the position was created in 1970 and first black candidate to be elected governor of Maryland.[20][23] O'Malley, with whom Brown shared winning tickets in both the 2006 and 2010 elections, supported Brown as his successor.[24] Brown's lieutenant gubernatorial running mate was Howard County ExecutiveKen Ulman.[3] After formalizing their partnership for the 2014 campaign, the Brown-Ulman ticket received the endorsement of U.S. Rep.Elijah Cummings (D-MD). A number of Cummings' congressional colleagues announced their support soon thereafter, as well as branches ofSEIU, a labor union.[25][26][27]

On July 17, 2013, another candidate entered the Democratic primary field:Del.Heather Mizeur.[28] Mizeur would have been the first femalegovernor ofMaryland, as well as the country's first openly gay governor, if she had won the general election.[29] Formerstate Attorney GeneralDoug Gansler also sought the Democratic nomination for governor in 2014. On Oct. 14, 2013, Gansler selected Prince George County DelegateJolene Ivey as his lieutenant gubernatorial running mate. After joining Gansler's campaign, Ivey stated, "I am proud to be the first African-American woman to run for lieutenant governor, and when we win, to be the first Democratic African-American woman to be lieutenant governor in our nation's history."[30] Both Gansler and Mizeur lost in the Democratic primary on June 24, 2014.


Republican nomination

The Republican ticket ofLarry Hogan andBoyd Rutherford emerged from a field of four potential tickets after the June 24 primary with 14-percent margin of victory. Hogan and Rutherford were both former appointees offormer Gov. Robert Ehrlich (R).[31]

Campaign finance

When the campaign finance reporting period ending on August 19, 2014, Hogan had $2.4 million in cash on hand. Brown reported $760,000. Hogan ran a publicly financed campaign, which meant a single payment of $2.6 million from the state's dedicated campaign finance fund. Hogan could not raise additional money in the campaign, while Brown was capable of raising additional funds because he did not use public financing. Brown reported $1.5 million in contributions from June 9 through August 19.[32]

National figures in the race

President Barack Obama, formerPresident Bill Clinton andformer Sen. Hillary Clinton made appearances supporting Brown's campaign.New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie appeared at three campaign events for Hogan through late October.[33]

Outside groups also purchased ads during the general election campaign. TheDemocratic Governors Association and theRepublican Governors Association invested $1.5 million on TV ads through late October.Michael Bloomberg's Independence USA PAC committed $500,000 to criticize Hogan's endorsement by theNational Rifle Association (NRA).[33]


Debates

October 18 debate

Anthony Brown (D) andLarry Hogan (R) discussed education, economic policy andfracking during a debate on Maryland Public Television. Brown argued for expanding pre-K schooling as a solution to academic performance issues. Hogan countered that the key to Maryland's academic future was the expansion of charter schools. Hogan, the owner of a real estate company, criticized Brown andformer Gov. Martin O'Malley for the implementation of economic policies he argued were harmful to small businesses. Brown said that he would work toward tax relief for small businesses if elected governor.[34]

The issue of fracking in western Maryland showed differences of opinion between the two candidates. Hogan stated his support for natural gas extraction in the state, saying it could boost the state's economic prospects. Brown supported the O'Malley administration's focus on gathering safety and environmental reports about fracking in the state, arguing that there were public health concerns related to the practice.[34]

Voter turnout

Political scientist Michael McDonald's United States Elections Project studied voter turnout in the 2014 election by looking at the percentage of eligible voters who headed to the polls. McDonald used voting-eligible population (VEP), or the number of eligible voters independent of their current registration status, to calculate turnout rates in each state on November 4. He also incorporated ballots cast for the highest office in each state into his calculation. He estimated that 81,687,059 ballots were cast in the 50 states plus theDistrict of Columbia, representing 35.9 percent of the VEP.[35] By comparison, 61.6 percent of VEP voted in the 2008 presidential election and 58.2 percent of VEP voted in the 2012 presidential election.[36]

Quick facts

  • According toPBS Newshour, voter turnout in the 2014 midterms was the lowest since the 1942 midterms, which took place during the nation's involvement in World War II.[37]
  • Forty-three states and the District of Columbia did not surpass 50 percent turnout in McDonald's analysis.
  • The three states with the lowest turnout according to McDonald's analysis wereTexas (28.3 percent),Tennessee (28.6 percent), andIndiana (28.8 percent).
  • Maine (58.5 percent),Wisconsin (56.5 percent), andColorado (54.5 percent) were the three states with the highest turnout.
  • Twelve states increased voter turnout in 2014 compared to the 2010 midterm elections.[38]
