Incumbent Republican senator and Senate Minority Whip John Cornyn ran for election to a third term. Primary elections were held on March 4, 2014. Since no Democratic candidate received over 50% in the first round of the primary, a runoff election was required on May 27, 2014. David Alameel, who came in first in the primary, won the runoff and became his party's nominee. In the general election, Cornyn defeated Alameel in a landslide. This is the last time Bexar, Fort Bend, Harris and Hays would vote for a Republican in a U.S. Senate election. Republican primary In February 2014, Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was targeted in a controversial television ad by Dwayne Stovall, who labeled McConnell—John Cornyn’s Senate leadership superior—an ineffective “Beltway turtle” out of touch with rank-and-file Republicans. Before the ad, Stovall’s candidacy had received little media attention.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/14/dwayne-stovall-mitch-mcconnell_n_4790903.html Samantha Lachman, "GOP Senate Candidate Calls Mitch McConnell 'Beltway Turtle' in Anti-Cornyn Ad", February 14, 2014 Huffington Post February 16, 2014 February 14, 2014 Candidates Nominee John Cornyn, incumbent U.S. Senatorhttp://atr.rollcall.com/john-cornyn-airs-first-ad-of-re-election-campaign/ John Cornyn Airs First Re-Election Campaign Spot Roll Call October 7, 2013 November 24, 2013 December 3, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131203115607/http://atr.rollcall.com/john-cornyn-airs-first-ad-of-re-election-campaign/ dead Eliminated in primary Curt Cleaver, hotel industry consultant and candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2012http://www.star-telegram.com/2013/12/09/5405624/the-ballot-is-set-for-the-2014.html Filing ends, ballot set for 2014 election Roll Call Tinsley Anna M.
