The 2014 Vermont Senate election took place as part of the biennial United States elections. Vermont voters elected State Senators in all 30 seats. State senators serve two-year terms in the Vermont Senate. The election coincided with elections for other offices including the U.S. House, Governor, and State House. A primary election held on August 26, 2014 determined which candidates appeared on the November 4 general election ballot.[1]
Following the 2012 Senate elections, Democrats maintained control of the Senate with 23 members in the majority caucus (21 Democrats and 2 Progressives). To claim control of the chamber from Democrats, the Republicans would have needed to net gain 8 or 9 seats depending on the winner of the 2014 Vermont lieutenant gubernatorial election, which was Republican Phil Scott. The Republicans gained 2 seats from the Democrats.
