United States Senate

edit
Main article: 2014 United States Senate election in Georgia

Incumbent Republican senator Saxby Chambliss chose to retire rather than run for re-election to a third term in office.

Seven Republicans ran for their party's nomination: U.S. Representative Paul Broun,[1] patent attorney Art Gardner,[2] U.S. Representative Phil Gingrey,[3] conservative political activist Derrick E. Grayson,[4] former Secretary of State of Georgia Karen Handel,[5] U.S. Representative Jack Kingston[6] and Georgia Ports Authority board member David Perdue.[7] Perdue and Kingston came first and second, respectively in the primary. As no candidate won a majority, the two proceeded to a runoff. Perdue won the runoff by a narrow margin.[8]

Four Democrats ran for their party's nomination: former state senator Steen Miles,[9] daughter of former U.S. Senator Sam Nunn and CEO of Points of Light Michelle Nunn,[10] physician Branko Radulovacki[11] and Reserve Officers' Training Corps instructor Todd Robinson.[12] Nunn easily won the Democratic nomination with almost 75% of the vote.

edit
Main article: 2014 United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia

All of Georgia's fourteen seats in the United States House of Representatives were up for election in 2014.

The race in the 12th congressional district is considered by political prognosticators to be the most competitive. In addition, open seat contests in the 1st, 10th, and 11th districts featured competitive Republican primaries for seats held by retiring Republican incumbents. There was also a competitive Democratic primary in the 4th district.[13]

Governor

edit
Main article: 2014 Georgia gubernatorial election

Incumbent Republican Governor Nathan Deal ran for re-election to a second term as governor.

Deal was challenged in the Republican primary by State Superintendent of Schools John Barge[14] and Dalton Mayor David Pennington.[15] He defeated them all, winning renomination with 72% to 17% for Pennington and 11% for Barge.

State Senator Jason Carter, a grandson of former president and former governor Jimmy Carter, was unopposed for the Democratic Party's nomination.[16]

As his 713-vote margin of victory was less than 1%, a recount was considered likely.[39] Buck duly requested one on July 29[40] and two days later, Woods was confirmed as the winner after Buck only narrowed the margin by 13 votes.[41]
