The Republican Party had a comfortable hold on the Kentucky State Senate and positioned itself for a fight for the State House. The Republicans were down eight seats, so they would have needed to take five new ones to obtain a majority. Kentucky was one of two instances, along with New Hampshire, where Republicans could have taken the legislature in a state with a Democratic governor.[1]
Redistricting completed in 2013 presented a challenge to this outcome. Two incumbent Republicans, Bart Rowland and Russell Webber, faced opponents in the general election because of redistricting. On the other hand, two incumbent Democrats were vulnerable; Richard Henderson because of controversy surrounding illegal cockfighting, and Jim Glenn because his past two elections were very close.[2] Only one of these four, Henderson, lost his seat.
There was a historical hurdle to overcome as well; Republicans had not held the Kentucky House since 1921.[3]
In 51 of the 100 districts up for election in 2014, there was more than one major party candidate running for election. Twenty-five Democrats and 24 Republicans were guaranteed election barring unforeseen circumstances.
The Kentucky House of Representatives was one of 20 state legislative chambers noted by Ballotpedia staff as being a battleground chamber. The Kentucky House had a difference in partisan balance between Democrats and Republicans of eight seats, which amounted to 8 percent of the chamber. In 2012, a total of 12 districts were competitive or mildly competitive. There were four districts where the margin of victory was 5 percent or less in the 2012 elections. Another 10 districts had a margin of victory between 5 and 10 percent.
Elections for the Kentucky House of Representatives took place in 2014. A primary election took place on May 20, 2014. The general election was held on November 4, 2014. The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was January 28, 2014.
Following the general election, there was no change to the majority control of the Kentucky House of Representatives. There was no change to the chamber's composition, where the Democratic Party maintained its control of the chamber with 54 seats. The Republican Party maintained control of 46 seats.

Competitiveness
Candidates unopposed by a major party
In 49 of the 100 districts up for election in 2014, there was only one major party candidate running for election. A total of 25 Democrats and 24 Republicans were guaranteed election barring unforeseen circumstances.
Two major party candidates faced off in the general election in 51 of the 100 districts up for election. Four of those seats held competitive elections in 2012 with a margin of victory ranging from 0 to 5 percent. Three other elections were mildly competitive, with a margin of victory between 5 and 10 percent. Those districts were:
Competitive
- District 7: Incumbent Suzanne Miles (R) defeated John Warren (D) in the general election. Miles won election in a 2013 special election after former incumbent John Arnold, Jr. (D) left office. Arnold won by a margin of victory of 0.03 percent in 2012.
- District 13: Incumbent James Glenn, Jr. (D) defeated challenger Jeremy Warfield in the Democratic primary. Glenn defeated Alan Braden (R) in the general election. Glenn won by a margin of victory of 2 percent in 2012.
- District 27: Incumbent Jeff Greer (D) defeated challenger Rachelle Frazier (R) in the general election. Greer won by a margin of victory of 2 percent in 2012.
- District 91: Incumbent Hubert Collins (D) defeated challenger Sid Allen (D) in the Democratic primary. Bobby W. McCool defeated Dewie Ison and William Scott Wells in the Republican primary. Collins won by a margin of victory of 1 percent in 2012.
Mildly competitive
- District 49: This seat was open, as incumbent Russell Webber (R) ran for re-election in District 26. Linda Howlett Belcher defeated Jonathan Cacciatore in the Democratic primary, while Michael J. Nemes was unopposed in the Republican primary. Webber won by a margin of victory of 6 percent in 2012.
- District 50: Incumbent David Floyd (R) defeated challenger Audrey Haydon (D) in the general election. Floyd won by a margin of victory of 7 percent in 2012.
- District 56: Incumbent James Kay (D) defeated challenger Ryan Schwartz (R) in the general election. Kay won election in a 2013 special election after former incumbent Carl Rollins, II (D) left office. Rollins won by a margin of victory of 7 percent in 2012.
Primary challenges
A total of 11 incumbents faced primary competition on May 20. Seven incumbents did not seek re-election in 2014 and another 82 incumbents advanced past the primary without opposition. One incumbent, W. Keith Hall (D), was defeated in his primary. The state representatives that faced competition included:
- District 18: Incumbent Tim Moore (R) of District 26 ran for the seat of the retiring Dwight Butler. Moore defeated Stephen L. Meredith in the Republican primary.
- District 89: Incumbent Marie L. Rader defeated Michael Bryant and Gerardo Serrano in the Republican primary.
- District 93: Incumbent W. Keith Hall was defeated by Chris Harris in the Democratic primary.
Retiring incumbents
Seven incumbent representatives did not run for re-election, while 93 (93.0%) ran for re-election. A list of those incumbents, three Democrats and four Republicans, can be found above.
Context
A Ballotpedia analysis of partisan balance between 1992 and 2013 showed that Democrats held the House for the entire period. Furthermore, Republicans had not controlled the House since 1921;[3] Kentucky and West Virginia were the last two "Solid South" states to still have Democratic control of the state House.[5] Kentucky was one of three states with split control of the state legislature; Iowa and New Hampshire were the other two.[6]
With redistricting having been completed in 2013 to the benefit of Democrats, five Republican incumbents were forced to run in new districts, though only two, Bart Rowland and Russell Webber, faced opposition in the general election. Their moves set the stage for two-challenger general election contests in Districts 49 and 53.[2][7]
House Minority Leader Jeff Hoover (R), who had expressed interest in the role of Speaker should his party gain control, had noted that Republicans were targeting western districts, naming Democratic incumbents Jim Glenn, Gerald Watkins and Jim Gooch explicitly.[8]
In addition to maintaining four seats left by outgoing incumbents, Republicans required five new seats in order to take over the chamber. The implications of the State House race were not lost on outside groups, as a Republican PAC, AmeriGOP, hired a former aide to Mitt Romney to direct its fundraising efforts, and the Democratic group Kentucky Family Values set forth to counter an influx of money from out-of state donors.[5][9] Rand Paul (R), one of the state's two U.S. Senators, was active in fundraising for candidates and groups including AmeriGOP, which pursues the passage of right-to-work legislation and the repeal of prevailing wage.[10] Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a 2012 presidential candidate, was also booked to appear at an October 25 fundraiser for the Kentucky Rise PAC.[11]
Republicans did not need to win all nine seats to gain control before the Kentucky General Assembly reconvened. Scott Lasley, a political science professor who chairs the Warren County Republican Party, suggested that conservative Democrats may have switched party affiliation to the GOP after the election if Republicans reduced their deficit by enough members.[12] An example of party defection can be found in Louisiana, where a number of conservative Democrats responded to their party's midterm defeat in 2010 by leaving for the GOP, giving it the majority in the state House for the first time since Reconstruction despite legislative elections not being held there that year.[13] In 2012, Democrats won control of the New York State Senate in the elections, but lost it again after several Democrats joined with Republicans to form a new majority caucus while maintaining their party affiliation.[14]

Bold=Incumbent
- District 3: Republicans targeted a western district held by a conservative Democrat, Gerald Watkins. Realtor Randy Bridges was defeated by Watkins in the general election.[15]
- District 7: Republican incumbent Suzanne Miles ran for her first full term in the House, having narrowly won a special election to replace John Arnold (D), who resigned in September 2013 after ethics complaints of sexually harassing members of House staff. Arnold's 2012 margin of victory was a mere five votes (0.03 percent), and although Republicans cast Miles' special election victory as a harbinger of a partisan shift in 2014, her margin of victory over Kim Humphrey (D) was slim at 112 votes (1.6 percent).[16][3] Miles defeated John Warren (D) in the general election.
- District 10: An open seat left by Dwight Butler (R), Democrats heavily targeted the district, which leaned in their favor after redistricting. Both businessmen, Dean Schamore (D) outraised Alan Claypool (R) about six-and-a-half times by the primary.[17] Schamore defeated Claypool in the general election.
- District 13: Incumbent Jim Glenn (D) ran for his fifth term, but his prior two victories came at slim margins of 251 and 206 votes, respectively. (The 2010 campaign was a rematch of the 2008 election, in which Glenn defeated Ben Boarman (R) by a much greater margin of nearly 4,100 votes, and the 2012 campaign saw a strong challenge from an independent, Bill Barron.) After handily defeating Jeremy Warfield in the May 20 primary, Glenn defeated Alan Braden (R) in the general election.[2]
- District 32: Ashley Miller, a nurse practitioner and former Ms. Kentucky United States, had support from Emerge America, a progressive group that trains women to run for office; she was defeated by 2011 gubernatorial candidate Phil Moffett (R) for the open seat, which had been held by a Republican for over a decade.[18][19] In July, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R) threw his support behind Moffett, who did not have the financial benefit of running unopposed in the primary.[20]
- District 49: Two former state representatives faced off for an open seat deemed crucial to Republican efforts to take control of the chamber. While the district was considered conservative, Linda Belcher (D) outraised Mike Nemes (R) by nearly two times by early July.[15] Belcher defeated Nemes in the general election.
- District 50: Audrey Haydon, an Emerge candidate, had outraised incumbent David Floyd (R) almost five times over early on in the election.[18] However, Floyd lent $35,000 to his campaign after the primary, and he had defeated well-funded opponents in previous years.[15] Haydon was no exception, and Floyd pulled through the general election.
- District 55: Jacqueline Coleman (D) had doubled the funds of incumbent Kim King (R) early on;[17] by early July, the gap had closed slightly to $36,000 over King's $22,000. Coleman, a teacher, is the daughter of former state Rep. Jack Coleman.[15] This race was only one of two House contests featuring two women; the General Assembly was 16 percent female heading into the elections.[21] King dispatched Coleman in the general election.
- District 74: While incumbent Richard Henderson (D) won re-election entirely unopposed in 2012, a video from a pro-cockfighting rally showing him admitting to attending and betting on cockfights, which are illegal in Kentucky, proved a contentious issue in his race against David Hale (R). The video was seen as contributing to the primary defeat of U.S. Senate challenger Matt Bevin (R), who also spoke at the rally.[22][2] Henderson was defeated by Hale in the general election.
