question: Which party did the politician and gubernatorial candidate who lost to an American politician, author, and attorney in the Governor of New York State election of 2014 represent?
answer: Libertarian Party
context: Title: Qualified New York political parties
  Passage: In New York State, to qualify for automatic ballot access, a party must have received at least 50,000 votes in the previous gubernatorial election.  A party must run a gubernatorial candidate (as well as a lieutenant governor candidate, although this portion has been ignored in the past) to be eligible for automatic ballot access; if 50,000 voters vote for that candidate on their party line, they have qualified the party for the next election.  A party that is not qualified may run candidates by completing a petition process.  Parties are also allowed to cross-endorse candidates, whose votes would be accumulated under electoral fusion, but any parties must cross-endorse both the governor and lieutenant governor candidates for fusion to apply.  Parties that are already qualified must issue a Wilson Pakula if they cross-endorse someone registered in another already qualified party; there are no restrictions (other than the fact that the candidate must be eligible for office) on who can be nominated on a non-qualified ballot line, as these lines are determined by filing petitions.

A Kentucky native, at age 17 Laffoon moved to Washington, D.C., to live with his uncle, U.S. Representative Polk Laffoon.  He developed an interest in politics and returned to Kentucky, where he compiled a mixed record of victories and defeats in elections at the county and state levels.  In 1931, he was chosen as the Democratic gubernatorial nominee by a nominating convention, not a primary, making him the only Kentucky gubernatorial candidate to be chosen by a convention after 1903.  In the general election, he defeated Republican William B. Harrison by what was then the largest margin of victory in Kentucky gubernatorial history.

Baltimore County Executive Spiro Agnew, who would later go on to be selected by Richard M. Nixon as his running mate in 1968, was nominated by the Republican Party as their gubernatorial candidate.  Mahoney and Agnew squared off, along with independent candidate Hyman A. Pressman.  Ultimately, Agnew was victorious over Mahoney, with Pressman a distant third.
