Campaign themes
2014
Gill's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Protect taxpayers and grow the economy
- Excerpt: "As a small businessman, Vick Gill knows that's the wrong approach - that tax increases hurt families' budgets at home and cost the local economy needed jobs. Instead of supporting additional tax increases, Vick Gill will take a hard look at spending priorities and cutting waste rather than asking Nevada families to pay any more in taxes."
Patient-centered health care - NOT Obamacare
- Excerpt: "As an experienced health care professional, Vick Gill understands how to reform the system so that patients - not bureaucrats - are in control of their health care decisions. He will use his experience to improve health care for Nevada's veterans."
Education
- Excerpt: "As a first-generation immigrant, Vick Gill knows firsthand the importance of education. That's why he volunteers as a mentor for Las Vegas youth at the Southern Highlands Boys and Girls Club. Vick supports prioritizing and investing in education, including supporting charter schools and other innovators in education. Vick strongly supports preparing students with skills in math and science."
Protect freedom
- Excerpt: "Vick Gill strongly supports Second Amendment freedoms and the sanctity of each person's individual right to self-defense."

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. Incumbent Justin Jones ran unopposed in the Democratic primary, while Becky Harris defeated Ron Quilang, Vick Gill and David Schoen in the Republican primary. Harris defeated Jones in the general election.[2][3][4][5]
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 9 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. Incumbent Justin Jones lost his seat to attorney Becky Harris in the general election. Jones won election in 2012 by only 301 votes. In 2013, Jones angered many gun-rights conservatives during his first year in office, when he pushed for gun control legislation.[6]
