Election history

Election history of District 14 from 1992.[b]

2020

The seat for District 14 became vacant on April 30, 2020, after the resignation of Kirk Watson.^[3] A special election has been called for July 14, 2020. No candidate had received over 50 percent of the vote, therefore the race was to proceed to a runoff later in 2020 between the top two candidates in the first round, resulting in two Democrats advancing to the runoff.^[4] On July 27, 2020, Eddie Rodriguez, dropped out of the race for a runoff election, resulting in Sarah Eckhardt being declared winner.^[5]
