State executive offices in Colorado

The Colorado gubernatorial and lieutenant gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 2014. Incumbents John Hickenlooper and Joseph Garcia, both Democrats first elected in 2010, were eligible for re-election and ran successfully together for a second time in 2014.

Hickenlooper and Garcia won new four-year terms as governor and lieutenant governor, respectively.

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.

Colorado utilizes a semi-closed primary system. According to Section 1-7-201 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, "An eligible unaffiliated elector, including a preregistrant who is eligible under section 1-2-101 (2)(c), is entitled to vote in the primary election of a major political party without affiliating with that political party."

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

The race was rated "Lean D" by The Cook Political Report, giving Hickenlooper a slight advantage. Meanwhile, Governing rated the general election race between Hickenlooper and Republican challenger Bob Beauprez as a "Toss-up." Learn more about the dynamics of this gubernatorial race by checking out the polls, debates and race background sections.

The gubernatorial race was not the only race on the November ballot that could have shifted the partisan balance of power in Colorado. The Colorado State Senate had been identified by Ballotpedia as one of the top 20 legislative chambers to watch in 2014. Both chambers of the state legislature and the governor's office were held by the Democratic Party as of November 2014, making Colorado a state government trifecta, or single party government. Going into the 2014 elections, the battleground races for the state Senate and governor's office could have changed Colorado's trifecta status.

Race background

Democratic nomination

Democratic incumbent Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper ran for re-election in 2014 alongside Lieutenant Governor Joseph Garcia (D). Hickenlooper and Garcia were first elected together in 2010. They were uncontested for re-nomination in the Democratic primary on June 24, 2014.

Republican nomination

On June 24, Colorado voters selected Bob Beauprez as the Republican nominee for governor. It was the only contested primary for a statewide office held that day. Beauprez represented Colorado's 7th Congressional District from 2003 to 2007 and he was the Republican nominee for governor in 2006. He drew 30 percent of the primary vote, according to unofficial totals, defeating Tom Tancredo (27 percent), Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler (23 percent) and Mike Kopp (20 percent). Gessler passed up a possible second term as secretary of state in 2014 in favor of an attempt to challenge Hickenlooper for the state's top office. Since Gessler was out of the governor's race, he was unable to make a bid for re-election as secretary of state.

According to the candidates' campaign finance reports due July 1, Hickenlooper raised nearly $3 million in preparation for the second phase of the 2014 campaign cycle and ended the reporting period with $579,268 of cash on hand. Beauprez ended the reporting period with $34,921 cash on hand. Beauprez' total fundraising for the cycle as of June 25 was $351,921.

General election

Hickenlooper, Beauprez, Matthew Hess (Libertarian), Harry Hempy (Green) and various unaffiliated candidates competed in the general election on November 4, 2014.

In September 2014, Governing rated the race between Hickenlooper and Beauprez as a "Toss-up" while The Cook Political Report gave Hickenlooper a slight advantage with a "Lean D" rating.

Debates

October 6 debate

A debate hosted by the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce evolved from an economics discussion into a debate over public safety issues between John Hickenlooper (D) and Bob Beauprez (R). Beauprez accused Hickenlooper of what he considered lax oversight of state prisons, citing recent instances where inmates convicted of violent crimes were released without public notice. Hickenlooper argued that once someone who committed a crime has served a sentence, there is no legal rationale for keeping the person incarcerated. He also argued that the state legislature failed to pass a new law in 2013 that would have created an intermediary step between prison and freedom for inmates with psychological issues or histories of violent behavior.

Hickenlooper and Beauprez also shared their views on topics including marijuana legalization and immigration policy during the debate. Hickenlooper argued that other states should take notice of the difficulties Colorado faces in the early days of marijuana legalization and said that Colorado residents who supported legalization lacked the information to make an informed vote.

Beauprez also addressed immigration policy, having previously argued that people in the country illegally should be sent back to their home countries before returning through official channels. Beauprez suggested during the debate that this process would not be necessary as part of immigration reform.

The Republican Governors Association (RGA) spent $2 million on the ad used, which detailed Hickenlooper's amnesty of death row inmate Nathan Dunlap. Dunlap murdered the daughter of Dennis O'Connor and three other people in 1993. The "Dennis" ad used footage of O'Connor criticizing Hickenlooper. Hickenlooper's campaign asked local TV stations to refrain from airing the ad in late October and several of O'Connor's family members criticized the RGA for "revictimizing" the family. Gillian McNally, the cousin of Colleen O'Connor, also noted that Hickenlooper did not release Dunlap from prison, as implied by the use of the term "full amnesty" quoted from a Denver Post article in the ad.

Voter turnout

Political scientist Michael McDonald's United States Elections Project studied voter turnout in the 2014 election by looking at the percentage of eligible voters who headed to the polls. McDonald used voting-eligible population (VEP), or the number of eligible voters independent of their current registration status, to calculate turnout rates in each state on November 4. He also incorporated ballots cast for the highest office in each state into his calculation. He estimated that 81,687,059 ballots were cast in the 50 states plus the District of Columbia, representing 35.9 percent of the VEP. By comparison, 61.6 percent of VEP voted in the 2008 presidential election and 58.2 percent of VEP voted in the 2012 presidential election.

Quick facts

• According to PBS Newshour, voter turnout in the 2014 midterms was the lowest since the 1942 midterms, which took place during the nation's involvement in World War II.

• Forty-three states and the District of Columbia did not surpass 50 percent turnout in McDonald's analysis.

• The three states with the lowest turnout according to McDonald's analysis were Texas (28.3 percent), Tennessee (28.6 percent), and Indiana (28.8 percent).

• Maine (58.5 percent), Wisconsin (56.5 percent), and Colorado (54.5 percent) were the three states with the highest turnout.

• Twelve states increased voter turnout in 2014 compared to the 2010 midterm elections.
