The Democratic nominee was former Governor Charlie Crist, who was Scott's direct predecessor. Crist was elected governor as a Republican in 2006 but did not run for re-election in 2010, instead opting to run for Senate as an independent. Libertarian nominee Adrian Wyllie and several candidates with no party affiliation also ran. Political pundits considered the race a toss-up. This was one of nine Republican-held governorships up for election in a state that Barack Obama won in the 2012 presidential election. On Election Day, Scott defeated Crist, earning 48% of the vote.https://results.elections.myflorida.com/Index.asp?ElectionDate=11/4/2014&DATAMODE= November 4, 2014 General Election Florida Department of State December 28, 2018 December 14, 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20181214164429/https://results.elections.myflorida.com/Index.asp?ElectionDate=11/4/2014&DATAMODE= dead With a margin of 1%, this election was the closest race of the 2014 gubernatorial election cycle.
