The 2014 Nevada gubernatorial election was held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, to elect the Governor of Nevada. Incumbent Republican governor Brian Sandoval won re-election to a second term in office, defeating Democratic nominee Bob Goodman in a landslide. Sandoval won a higher percentage of the vote than any other incumbent governor in 2014. This was one of nine Republican-held governorships up for election in a state that Barack Obama won in the 2012 presidential election.
Sandoval's coattails allowed Republicans to win both chambers of the legislature for the first time since 1931, thereby giving Republicans a trifecta in the state for the first time since then.
As of 2025, this is the most recent time that the Republican candidate carried Clark County in a statewide race, the last time that the winner of the gubernatorial election carried all counties in Nevada, the last time the winner received a majority of votes, and the last time last time the winner received more than 70% of the vote.
