Probably the most high profile gubernatorial election of the cycle, this race saw three Democratic candidates (Senator [[Roland Scott]], Lieutenant Governor [[James Stewart]] and Congresswoman [[Caroline Westman]]) running in a primary to face off against Governor [[Robert Hudson]], only for Hudson to step down rather than face re-election. Hudson had been elected Governor in 2008 and 2010 as a Democrat, leaving the party in 2012 after failing to win the [[United States presidential election, 2012|Democratic Presidential nomination]].
