The city of Austin held elections for city council on November 4, 2014. The candidate filing deadline was August 18, 2014. Because of redistricting and term limits, there was no incumbent for District 10.[2] The candidates were Marjorie "Margie" Burciaga, Audrey "Tina" Cannon, Amanda "Mandy" Dealey, Sheri P. Gallo, Matthew L. Lamon, Jason W. Meeker, Robert D. Thomas and William L. Worsham.[3] Because no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote in the general election, the top two vote-getters - Dealey and Gallo - faced each other in a runoff election on December 16, 2014.[4] Gallo was the winner.[5]
