The August 26, 2014, general election in Sarasota County featured three seats up for election. District 1 incumbent Bridget Ziegler faced a challenge from Velton Hodges, Ken Marsh and Paul J. Schafer. None of the four candidates received 50 percent of the vote in the general election, so Bridget Ziegler and Ken Marsh, the top two vote-getters, advanced to the runoff election on November 4, 2014. District 4 incumbent Shirley Brown and District 5 incumbent Jane Goodwin won re-election, defeating challengers Helen Wolff and Randy McLendon, respectively.
