The 2014 New Mexico gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 2014, to elect the governor of New Mexico. Incumbent Republican governor Susana Martínez successfully ran for re-election to a second term in office, defeating Democratic Attorney General Gary King, son of former governor Bruce King.
This was one of the seven Republican-held governorships up for election in a state that Barack Obama won in the 2012 presidential election. Unlike in most states, New Mexico's governor and lieutenant governor are elected in separate primaries. The winning candidates then run together on the same ticket. Primary elections were held on June 3, 2014.
As of 2025, this is the last time that Republicans won a statewide election in New Mexico, and stands as the best performance by a Republican gubernatorial candidate in New Mexico history. This is also the last time that the winner of the New Mexico gubernatorial election won a majority of counties.
