The2014 Wayne County Executive election was held on November 4, 2014. Incumbent County ExecutiveRobert A. Ficano ran for re-election to his fourth term. However, Ficano's administration faced a federal investigation into alleged corruption, which resulted in several of Ficano's aides pleading guilty to criminal charges.[1] Ficano faced many challengers in the Democratic primary, and was ultimately defeated in a landslide, winning just 6 percent of the vote while former County SheriffWarren Evans won the nomination with 44 percent of the vote. In the general election, Evans faced John Dalton, the Republican nominee and a member of theLivonia Human Relations Commission. Evans defeated Dalton in a landslide, receiving 70 percent of the vote.
