The Arkansas gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 2014. Democratic incumbent Mike Beebe was ineligible for re-election in 2014 due to term limits and the race to succeed him was expected to be highly competitive according to polls and race ratings reports.[1][2][3][4]

After withdrawals by Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel (D) and former Arkansas Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter (D), Mike Ross, having announced in December 2012 that he would not run, re-emerged as a candidate.[5][6][7][8][9] Ross defeated Lynette "Doc" Bryant in the Democratic primary on May 20, 2014.[10] On the Republican side, former U.S. Rep. Asa Hutchinson defeated businessman Curtis Coleman in the Republican primary.[11] Libertarian nominee Frank Gilbert and Green Party nominee Josh Drake also appeared on the general election ballot. Hutchinson won the general election.[12][13][14]

Primary: A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. Arkansas utilizes an open primary system. Registered voters do not have to be members of a party to vote in that party's primary.[15][16]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

Race background

Arkansas' senate seat held by Mark Pryor, a Democrat in a red state, was considered to be one of the most vulnerable in the country. The state became increasingly Republican since Bill Clinton was governor, having voted for George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney in the last three presidential elections. Pryor's seat was also the only remaining seat held by a Democrat in the state's congressional delegation.[19]

Additionally, the unpopularity of President Obama's healthcare mandate, combined with its poor implementation thus far, was likely to be a major issue that Pryor would have had to overcome in order to win re-election.

Race ratings

Most vulnerable seats

The FiscalTimes compiled a list of the seven most vulnerable Senate seats up for election in 2014. The seven included in the list were: Alaska, Arkansas, Iowa, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia. Going into the 2014 election, all seven seats were held by Democrats.[20]

Washington Post top 10 races

According to an analysis by The Washington Post, the U.S. Senate election in Arkansas was considered one of the top 10 Senate races of 2014. As of late 2013, Pryor still remained one of the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents up for re-election.[21]
