In 2012, Deputy Attorney General John Swallow was elected state attorney general. Due to ethics and elections law investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Utah State Legislature, Swallow resigned on December 3, 2013.

In his place, the governor appointed Republican Sean Reyes, who took office on December 30, 2013. Reyes came second behind Swallow in the 2012 Republican primary for attorney general. Reyes ran to retain the office in a special election on November 4, 2014. He ran unopposed for the nomination.

Reyes's major-party opposition in November was Democrat Charles Stormont, a lawyer in the Utah Attorney General's office. Three other candidates faced Reyes and Stormont in November: Libertarian Andrew McCullough, Constitution Party candidate Gregory Hansen and American Independent Party candidate Leslie Curtis. Reyes won election to the remaining two years of Swallow's term.
