Despite landing their top recruit in businessman and West Point graduate Mike Parrish, national Democrats were left disappointed when he quit the race on 18 March, stating, "I have come to realize that an expensive and contentious Democratic primary fight would seriously risk our party's ability to win this seat in November to accomplish our goals". [38] He had previously received criticism for only switching party affiliation to Democrat in late 2013, having been a registered Republican all his adult life. [39]

Ken Peoples, the chairman of the White Oak Republican Committee, had declared his candidacy for the Republican nomination, but was removed from the ballot for collecting insufficient ballot petition signatures. He subsequently ran a write-in campaign for the Republican nomination in the State House's 35th Legislative District. Bob Howard, a former candidate for Allegheny County Controller in 2011, ran a write-in campaign for the Republican nomination. [131] Howard would need 1,000 certified write-in votes to be nominated. At least 1,498 Republican write-in votes were recorded in the district, but certifying them would take several weeks. [132]
