Quick Facts Nominee, Party ...

Incumbent Commissioner Brad Avakian was re-elected unopposed in the May primary. Because he received over 50% of the vote, the general election scheduled for November was not held.

Primary election

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.[1] Avakian was unopposed in the election and essentially declared victory on the filing deadline.[2]

Candidates

While the position of Labor Commissioner is nonpartisan, Avakian is a Democrat.
