The 2014 Wayne County Executive election was held on November 4, 2014. Incumbent County Executive Robert A. Ficano ran for re-election to his fourth term. However, Ficano's administration faced a federal investigation into alleged corruption, which resulted in several of Ficano's aides pleading guilty to criminal charges. Ficano faced many challengers in the Democratic primary, and was ultimately defeated in a landslide, winning just 6 percent of the vote while former County Sheriff Warren Evans won the nomination with 44 percent of the vote. In the general election, Evans faced John Dalton, the Republican nominee and a member of the Livonia Human Relations Commission. Evans defeated Dalton in a landslide, receiving 70 percent of the vote.
