Campaign themes
2014
Sedera's campaign website highlighted the following priorities:[1]
Promote Economic Development
- Excerpt: "Nevada needs support policies that will create jobs, help small businesses, and get our state budget under control. This won’t come from destroying collective bargaining rights, but it won’t come from excessive regulation either. As a small business owner, I believe I can bring the voices of those businesses in Nevada who want to prosper without being punished to the legislature."
Improve our Educational System
- Excerpt: "We need to support our brightest minds and give our kids an incentive to stay in our state. That comes from good jobs and a great education. It’s time the legislature had another voice in it fighting for both."
Fixing the Foreclosure Crisis
- Excerpt: "With my years in both real estate and with the Southern Nevada Housing authority, I believe I bring a voice to this discussion that speaks from first-hand experience."
- Excerpt: "Programs like Home Again Nevada are a great start. But we have to get the word out to Nevada homeowners that there are resources to help them, we have to fight for those still being punished by lenders, and we have to find ways bring property values back to where they belong. "

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]
