The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was March 14, 2014. Victoria Seaman ran unopposed in the Republican primary, while Meghan Smith defeated Gary Fisher, Fayyaz Raja and Sanje Sedera in the Democratic primary. Smith was disqualified from the ballot on October 16, 2014, after it was determined that she did not reside in the district for 30 days prior to her declaration of candidacy. Because of the late date of the court order, Smith remained on the ballot. Seaman defeated Smith in the general election.[2][3][4][5]
