In this election, about half of the 49 legislative districts in Washington chose a state senator for a four-year term to the Washington State Senate. 24 seats were regularly scheduled to be up this cycle, along with 1 additional seat holding a special election to fill an unexpired term: the 28th district, held by appointed Senator Steve O'Ban, whose former incumbent Mike Carrell vacated the seat. Republicans had flipped another seat in a 2013 special election, giving them 24 seats heading into the 2014 elections, with two Democrats caucusing with them to provide them a majority. A top two primary election on August 5, 2014, determined which candidates appear on the November ballot. Candidates were allowed to declare a party preference.http://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/Top2PrimaryFAQ.aspx Top 2 Primary: FAQs for Voters Republicans won the 30th district after Mark Miloscia switched parties and won re-election as a Republican. Democrats flipped the 48th district from a Democrat who caucused with the Republicans, Rodney Tom. While this kept the state senate at 26-23 in favor of the Majority Coalition Caucus, only one Democrat remained in the coalition. 2 Overview Senate OverallPartySeats+/– Democratic 23 0 Democrat caucusing with Republicans 1self Self-identified Democrat Tim Sheldon, who caucuses with the Republicans 1 Republican 25 1 Total 49 Composition Elections Seats  Democratic Incumbent and Uncontested 2  Democratic Incumbent vs. Democrat 1  Democratic Incumbent vs. Republican 7  Democratic Incumbent (caucusing with Republicans) vs. Democratself 1  Republican Incumbent vs. Democrat 8  Republican Incumbent vs. Republican 2  Contested, Open SeatsIncluding open seats with two candidates of the same party competing in the general election. 4  Total 25 Predictions SourceRankingAs of GoverningLuzer Daniel 2014-10-20 Only a Few 2014 Legislative Races Are Competitive https://www.governing.com/archive/gov-legislative-handicapping-update-late-october.html 2024-07-10 Governing en | Lean R October 20, 2014 Select primary results District 32 Washington's 32nd legislative district election, 2014 Washington Democratic Party Maralyn Chase (inc.) 11,507 51.24 Washington Democratic Party Chris Eggen 5,343 23.79 Washington Republican Party Robert Reedy 5,606 24.96 100 District 35 Washington's 35th legislative district election, 2014 Majority Coalition Caucus Coalition Tim Sheldon (inc.)disowned Though he self-identifies as a Democrat, Senator Sheldon has caucused with the Republicans in the "Majority Coalition Caucus" since 10 December 2012 and has been disowned by Democratic organizations throughout the state and in his own district. 9,706 33.3 Washington Democratic Party Irene Bowling 10,321 35.42 Washington Republican Party Travis Couture 9,116 31.28 100 District 37 Washington's 37th legislative district election, 2014 Washington Democratic Party Pramila Jayapal 11,815 53.91 Washington Republican Party Rowland Martin 2,273 10.37 Washington Democratic Party Sheley Secrest 2,204 10.06 Washington Democratic Party Claude Burfect 424 1.93 Washington Democratic Party John Stafford 1,639 7.48 Washington Democratic Party Louis Watanabe 3,562 16.25 21,917 100 Washington Democratic Party General election results Results as reported by the Secretary of State:http://results.vote.wa.gov/results/current/Legislative-All.html Washington Secretary of State, 2014 General Election Results - Legislative - All Results vote.wa.gov November 25, 2014 November 28, 2014 August 25, 2018 https://web.archive.org/web/20180825110601/http://results.vote.wa.gov/results/current/Legislative-All.html dead District 6 Washington's 6th legislative district election, 2014 Washington Republican Party Michael Baumgartner (inc.) 28,309 57.47 Washington Democratic Party Rich Cowan 20,949 42.53 49,258 100 Washington Republican Party District 7 Washington's 7th legislative district election, 2014 Washington Republican Party Brian Dansel (inc.) 32,702 72.17 Washington Republican Party Tony Booth 12,612 27.83 45,314 100 Washington Republican Party District 8 Washington's 8th legislative district election, 2014 Washington Republican Party Sharon Brown (inc.) 30,552 74.15 Washington Democratic Party Doug McKinley 10,649 25.85 41,201 100 Washington Republican Party District 13 Washington's 13th legislative district election, 2014 Washington Republican Party Judith (Judy) Warnick 30,751 86.33 Washington Democratic Party Mohammad Said 4,868 13.67 35,619 100 Washington Republican Party District 15 Washington's 15th legislative district election, 2014 Washington Republican Party Jim Honeyford (inc.)"Prefers G.O.P.
