A general election was held in the U.S. state of Oregon on November 4, 2014. The incumbent governor and U.S. senator, and all incumbent members of the U.S. Congress won reelection.[1] Elections were also held for both houses of the state legislature, for the Commissioner of Labor, and for several statewide ballot measures. Primary elections were held on May 20, 2014. Governor{{main|Oregon gubernatorial election, 2014}}Incumbent Democratic Governor John Kitzhaber won re-election to a second consecutive, and fourth overall, term in office. Dennis Richardson was the Republican nominee.[2] Commissioner of LaborIncumbent Commissioner of Labor Brad Avakian ran for re-election to a second full term in office. Although Avakian is a Democrat, the position and thus the election are officially nonpartisan.[3] A nonpartisan primary election was held alongside partisan primary elections on May 20, 2014. Conservative Christian groups, unhappy over Avakian's enforcement action against a bakery that refused to bake a cake for a lesbian couple's wedding, attempted to recruit a challenger, but were unsuccessful.[4] Avakian was unopposed in the election and essentially declared victory on the filing deadline.[5] {{Election box begin no change| title = Primary results[6] }}{{Election box winning candidate with party link no change | candidate = Brad Avakian | party = Nonpartisan | votes = 406,798 | percentage = 98.27 }}{{Election box candidate no change | candidate = write-ins | party = | votes = 7,153 | percentage = 1.73 }}{{Election box total no change | votes = 413,951 | percentage = 100 }}{{Election box end}} U.S. Senate{{main|United States Senate election in Oregon, 2014}}Incumbent Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley won re-election to a second term in office.
