The election in Sweetwater featured five seats up for general election on November 4, 2014. There was no primary election.
The only sitting incumbent at the time of the election, former board president John McCann, did not file to run for re-election, but former members Bertha J.

A total of 21 candidates ran for the five open seats.
In Trustee Area 1, Arturo Solis won the election. Kevin J. Pike defeated former member Lopez as well as three other challengers to win election to Trustee Area 2. Cartmill was also defeated.
