Lieutenant governor

Unlike most states, in New Mexico, the candidates for governor and lieutenant governor were elected in separate primaries. The winning candidates then run together on the same ticket.

Incumbent Republican lieutenant governor John Sanchez was running for re-election to a second term.

Deb Haaland was running for the Democrats. Marie Julienne had been running, but was disqualified.{{Cite news|author=Terrell, Steve|date=19 February 2014|title=Failed candidate for lieutenant gov. challenges Democratic rival|newspaper=The Santa Fe New Mexican|url=http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/failed-candidate-for-lieutenant-gov-challenges-democratic-rival/article_92afcfb4-742e-5382-b1df-3812809c4aba.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140805164744/http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/failed-candidate-for-lieutenant-gov-challenges-democratic-rival/article_92afcfb4-742e-5382-b1df-3812809c4aba.html|archive-date=5 August 2014|url-status=live|access-date=30 July 2014|df=dmy-all}} Chocolatier Chuck Higgins had also been in the running, but he withdrew.{{Cite news|first=Rob|last=Nikolewski|date=January 20, 2013|title=Chocolatier from Santa Fe runs for Lt.

Hector Balderas, the State Auditor of New Mexico, was the only Democrat running. In January 2013, former Public Regulation Commissioner Jason Marks formed an exploratory committee, but he suspended his campaign in July, citing poor fundraising.{{cite web |author=Nikolewski, Rob |title=Jason Marks looks at running for NM Attorney General |newspaper=Capitol Report - New Mexico |date=February 20, 2013 |url=http://www.capitolreportnewmexico.com/2013/02/jason-marks-looks-at-running-for-nm-attorney-general/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141021071049/http://www.capitolreportnewmexico.com/2013/02/jason-marks-looks-at-running-for-nm-attorney-general/ |archive-date=October 21, 2014 |url-status=dead |access-date=April 21, 2014 |df=mdy-all }}{{Cite web|author=Associated Press|title=Jason Marks abandons race for NM attorney general|newspaper=The Albuquerque Journal|date=July 27, 2013|url=http://www.abqjournal.com/225942/news/jason-marks-abandons-race-for-nm-attorney-general.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141014032125/http://www.abqjournal.com/225942/news/jason-marks-abandons-race-for-nm-attorney-general.html|archive-date=October 14, 2014|url-status=live|access-date=April 21, 2014|df=mdy-all}}

Former Las Cruces Chief Deputy District Attorney and former Third Judicial District Judge Susan Riedel ran unopposed for the Republican nomination. Attorney James Paul "Jim" Baiamonte had been running, but withdrew from the race. Matthew Chandler, the former District Attorney for the 9th Judicial District and Republican nominee for attorney general in 2010, had considered running again, but instead resigned as district attorney and opened a private law practice.{{Cite news|title=District Attorney Chandler resigning March 1|newspaper=Clovis News Journal|date=January 20, 2014|url=http://www.cnjonline.com/2014/01/20/district-attorney-chandler-resigning-march-1/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141008164703/http://www.cnjonline.com/2014/01/20/district-attorney-chandler-resigning-march-1/|archive-date=October 8, 2014|url-status=live|access-date=April 21, 2014|df=mdy-all}}{{Cite web |title=Former Martinez deputy Susan Riedel running for state attorney general |publisher=Las Cruces Sun-News |date=January 22, 2014 |url=http://www.lcsun-news.com/las_cruces-opinion/ci_24968867/former-martinez-deputy-susan-riedel-running-ag |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141008133058/http://www.lcsun-news.com/las_cruces-opinion/ci_24968867/former-martinez-deputy-susan-riedel-running-ag |archive-date=October 8, 2014 |url-status=live |access-date=April 21, 2014 |df=mdy-all }}

Incumbent Democratic State Treasurer James B. Lewis was term-limited and cannot run for re-election to a third term in office.

Former state senator Tim Eichenberg and former chairman of the Democratic Party of New Mexico John Wertheim ran for the Democratic nomination. Former Bernalillo County Treasurer Patrick Padilla had been running, but he was disqualified from the ballot after he failed to collect enough petition signatures. Wertheim raised the challenge and Padilla was disqualified after a district judge found he was 93 valid signatures short of the minimum requirement of 4,373. Padilla may appeal the ruling.{{Cite news|author=Monteleone, James |date=April 8, 2014 |title=Former Bernco treasurer now out of state race |newspaper=The Albuquerque Journal |url=http://www.abqjournal.com/380600/news/former-bernco-treasurer-now-out-of-state-race.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140423050658/http://www.abqjournal.com/380600/news/former-bernco-treasurer-now-out-of-state-race.html|archive-date=April 23, 2014|url-status=live}} State Senator Tim Keller had considered running, but chose to run for State Auditor instead.{{Cite news |author=Terrell, Steve |title=Sen.
