The 2014 Tennessee gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 2014 to elect the Governor of Tennessee. Incumbent Republican Governor Bill Haslam won reelection to a second term with over 70% of the vote. Haslam, who was first elected over Mike McWherter in 2010, defeated Democratic candidate Charles Brown in a landslide, carrying every county in the state. As of 2022, this was the last time the Republican candidate has won the counties of Davidson and Shelby. This was the best performance in a Tennessee gubernatorial election since Buford Ellington's victory in 1966.
