It was held concurrently with the election of Kansas' Class II U.S. Senate seat, elections to the United States Senate in other states, elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various state and local elections. Incumbent Republican governor Sam Brownback ran for re-election to a second term. He was opposed in the general election by Democrat Paul Davis, the minority leader of the Kansas House of Representatives, and Libertarian attorney Keen Umbehr. The election was viewed as a referendum on Brownback's aggressive tax cutting initiatives and his conservative values.http://kansasfirstnews.com/2014/11/04/brownback-defeats-davis-in-kansas-governors-race Brownback defeats Davis in Kansas Governor's race 2014-11-14 https://web.archive.org/web/20141129151708/http://kansasfirstnews.com/2014/11/04/brownback-defeats-davis-in-kansas-governors-race/ 2014-11-29 dead The consensus among The Cook Political Report, Governing, The Rothenberg Political Report, Sabato's Crystal Ball, Daily Kos Elections, and others was that the contest was a tossup. Brownback won the election by a margin of 3.69%. Davis carried seven counties, all in eastern Kansas. This is the last gubernatorial election in which a Democratic candidate won Jefferson County, as well as the last time that a candidate was elected governor of Kansas while carrying a majority of counties.
