Elections for the Nevada State Senate took place in 2014. A primary election took place on June 10, 2014. The general election was held on November 4, 2014. The signature filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was March 14, 2014. Marilyn Dondero Loop defeated Garrett Leduff in the Democratic primary, while Patricia Farley defeated Lisa Myers and Clayton Hurst in the Republican primary. Jon Kamerath ran as an Independent American candidate. Farley defeated Dondero Loop and Kamerath in the general election.[1][2][3][4]
The Nevada State Senate was a battleground chamber that Ballotpedia identified as having the opportunity to switch partisan control in 2014. The Nevada Senate had a difference in partisan balance between Democrats and Republican of one seat, which amounted to 9 percent of the seats up for election in 2014. District 8 in the Senate was identified by Ballotpedia and the Las Vegas Review-Journal as a battleground district that could have determined control of the Nevada State Senate.[5] Incumbent Barbara Cegavske (R), who did not seek re-election due to term limits, ran for Secretary of State. Democrats had the opportunity to pick up the seat, but Assembly member Marilyn Dondero Loop (D) was defeated by Patricia Farley (R) in the general election.

Kamerath's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[6]
- Excerpt: "If elected, I will sponsor legislation to reduce the size of government, cut spending, & cut taxes, specifically property tax & sales tax. It is this kind of economic conservatism that will best stimulate job growth, help take Nevada out of the recession, and allow you to keep more of your hard-earned money at a time when you and your families need it the most. I will also support legislation to increase penalties for convicted violent criminals."
