Elections
2014
The August 26, 2014, general election in Santa Rosa County featured three seats up for election. Diane L. Scott defeated a challenge from Sandra Nicely in District 1. Carol Boston, Debbie Gunnoe, Fuchsia Ann Spann and Jim R. Taylor were running to replace Diane Coleman, who did not file for re-election in District 3. Taylor and Boston advanced to the runoff election. Scott Thomas Peden won re-election without opposition in District 5.
The general election determined if candidates for each seat could garner a majority of the vote total. Because no candidate received 50 percent plus one of the general election votes in District 3, the top two vote recipients advanced to the runoff election on November 4, 2014.
