The 2014 U.S. Virgin Islands gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 2014, to elect the Governor of the United States Virgin Islands. Incumbent Democratic Governor John de Jongh is term-limited and cannot run for re-election to a third term in office. Since no candidate received a majority in the general election, as required by the Revised Organic Act of the Virgin Islands, a runoff was held between Donna Christian-Christensen and Kenneth Mapp, the two top vote receivers.[1] Mapp went on to win the run off in a landslide victory, with almost 64% of the vote.[2]
Running mate: Osbert Potter, former Virgin Islands Senator, former Commissioner of Licensing and Consumer Affairs and former television show host ("Behind the Headlines" on WTJX-TV).[7]
Soraya Diase Coffelt, former Territorial Court Judge[8]
Mona Barnes, first female State Command Sergeant Major of the Virgin Islands[4]
Running mate: Wendy Coram
