The Maryland gubernatorial election of 1994 was held on November 8, 1994. Incumbent Democratic Governor William Donald Schaefer was ineligible for re-election. Executive Parris Glendening emerged victorious from the Democratic primary after defeating several candidates. Former State Delegate Ellen Sauerbrey, who would also be the 1998 Republican nominee for Governor, won her party's nomination. The election between Glendening and Sauerbrey was extremely contentious, and ended with the Sauerbrey campaign challenging the results.^[1] Ultimately, despite the controversial nature of the election, Executive Glendening narrowly beat Sauerbrey's spirited challenge.
