Races to watch in Pennsylvania[edit]
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.

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. Pennsylvania utilizes a closed primary process. Voters are required to register with a political party to vote in the primary election.[11][12]
For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.
Voter registration: To vote in the primary, voters had to register by April 20, 2014. For the general election, the voter registration deadline was October 6, 2014 (at least 30 days prior to election).[13]
