Race background
Term limits for Gov. Brewer
Incumbent Jan Brewer (R) was term-limited from seeking re-election, which left the seat open for the 2014 election. The race was rated Likely R by The Cook Political Report, meaning Brewer was likely to be succeeded by another Republican according to their assessment.[3] Governing rated the general election race between Doug Ducey (R) and Fred DuVal (D) as a Toss-up.[4]
Brewer was originally appointed to the position in 2009, and she was then elected to it in 2010. Arizona's term limit laws preclude any individual who has occupied the governor's office during two consecutive terms from running for re-election. Brewer asserted that the law did not adequately account for the conditions of her incomplete first term, but she did not pursue a court challenge for an exemption.[5]
Republican primary
Candidates in the GOP primary included outgoing Arizona State Treasurer Doug Ducey, Secretary of State Ken Bennett, Mesa Mayor Scott Smith, and former GoDaddy.com Executive Vice President Christine Jones. Ducey won the primary with 37.2 percent of the vote, followed by Smith in second place with 22.1 percent.
Democratic primary
Former Arizona Board of Regents President Fred DuVal won the Democratic nomination by default as the only candidate to file in the primary.[6]
