The 2014 Nebraska gubernatorial election will be held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 to elect the Governor of Nebraska, who will serve a four-year term to begin in January 2015. Incumbent Republican Governor Dave Heineman is term-limited and cannot run for re-election to a third term.

Republican primary

Lieutenant Governor Rick Sheehy first declared his intention to run for Governor in July 2011.[1] Considered to be the "hand-picked" successor to incumbent Governor Dave Heineman, he was endorsed by him.[2] Sheehy was joined in the Republican primary by Speaker of the Nebraska Legislature Mike Flood in November 2012.[3] Flood withdrew from the race less than a month later after his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.[4]

Sheehy resigned as Lieutenant Governor and withdrew from the race in February 2013 after the Omaha World-Herald discovered that he had made 2,300 phone calls on a state-issued phone, many of them long and at night, to four women, none of whom were his wife.[5] At the end of the month, Flood was reported to be reconsidering his decision with his wife progressing well in her treatment. In July he announced that he would not re-enter the race.[6]

Cattle rancher Charles Herbster, who had not formally entered the race but had been campaigning since July, became the third Republican to withdraw when he withdrew on August 23. He cited the health of his wife, who had recently undergone heart surgery.[7]
