Notes: Gov. Bill Haslam (R) coasted to a second term, defeating 72-year retiree Charles V "Charlie" Brown (D) and five other candidates. Haslam obtained 87.7% of the vote in the Aug. 7 Republican primary. Brown emerged atop the field of four unknown candidates running in the Aug. 7 Democratic primary. In the absence of a credible challenger, Haslam won every county and his showing marked the "highest percentage of the vote for a statewide elected official in modern Tennessee history." This was as well the most lopsided gubernatorial race of the 2014 cycle. Campaign Managers: Bill Haslam Jeremy Harrell (July 2013) Director of constituent services and community relations for Gov.
