State Executive Officials

By the summer of 2013, The New York Times, The Washington Post and Governing all rated Republican incumbent Tom Corbett as one of the most vulnerable governors facing re-election in 2014.[1] Their reports reflected the Republican governor's increasingly weak position heading into the 2014 election season, when his abysmal job approval ratings showed that the position was rabid for an ousting after years under a Republican trifecta.[2]

Several Democratic hopefuls -- Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Secretary John Hanger's predecessor Kate McGinty, York businessman Tom Wolf and State Treasurer Rob McCord -- competed in the May 20, 2014 primary, with Wolf emerging as the victor.[3][4][5][6] Conservative activist Bob Guzzardi was mentioned as a potential primary opponent of Governor Corbett.[7][8] Guzzardi filed for the Republican primary and initially survived a challenge to his campaign's signatures but the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ultimately removed him from the ballot.[9][10]

Corbett, along with Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley, faced the Democratic ticket of Wolf and Mike Stack, as well as independent write-in candidate Tom Lineaweaver. Wolf and Stack won the election to a four year term in office.
