Robert Hudson (R-NH) of the Northeast
Main article: Northeast gubernatorial election, 2014
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 Democratic Presidential nomination. Originally governing as an independent, he later aligned himself with the Republican Party, angering Democrats and contributing to the size of the Democratic primary.
Stewart was the eventual Democratic nominee, winning the primary after going negative against front runner Scott. Senator Joseph Salazar-Portela was the initial Republican candidate, but withdrew from the race and was replaced by his running mate Chris Waugh. Stewart went on to decisively defeat Waugh 63.4% to 35.1%.
