The 2014 Texas gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 2014, to elect the governor of Texas . Incumbent Republican Governor Rick Perry , who had served since the resignation of then-Governor George W. Bush on December 21, 2000, declined to run for an unprecedented fourth full term, making this the first open election for governor of the state since 1990 .
The election took place between nominees who were selected on March 4, 2014: Republican State Attorney General Greg Abbott and Democratic State Senator Wendy Davis . Also on the ballot were Libertarian Party candidate Kathie Glass[2] Green Party candidate Brandon Parmer.[3] [4] Bexar , Harris and Hays counties voted Republican and in which Frio , Jim Wells , and Val Verde counties voted Democratic. Exit polls showed Abbott winning Whites (72% to 25%), while Davis received majorities among African Americans (92% to 7%) and Hispanics (55% to 44%). Abbott won roughly half of Hispanic men, 54% of all women, and 62% of married women.[5]
Abbott took office on January 20, 2015, as the 48th Governor of Texas.
