The 2014 United States House of Representatives elections in Nevada were held on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 to elect the four U.S. Representatives from the state of Nevada, one from each of the state's four congressional districts. The elections coincided with the elections of other federal and state offices, including a gubernatorial election. As of 2021, this is the last time the Republicans won a majority of House districts in Nevada, as well as the last time Nevada's 2nd congressional district was won with over 60% of the vote.
Nevada's 1st congressional district occupies most of Nevada's largest city, Las Vegas, as well as parts of North Las Vegas and parts of unincorporatedClark County. The district is now staunchly Democratic. The incumbent is Democrat Dina Titus, who has represented the 1st district since January 2013 and easily won her bid for re-election on November 4, 2014.
Nevada's 2nd congressional district includes the northern third of the state. It includes most of Douglas and Lyon counties, all of Churchill, Elko, Eureka, Humboldt, Pershing and Washoe counties, as well as the state capital, Carson City. The largest city in the district is Reno, the state's third largest city. Although the district appears rural, its politics are dominated by Reno and Carson City, which combined cast over 85 percent of the district's vote. The incumbent is Republican Mark Amodei, who has represented the 2nd district since September 2011 following a special election upon the appointment of Dean Heller to the Senate.
The 3rd Congressional District occupies the area south of Las Vegas, including Henderson, and most of unincorporated Clark County. The district was initially created after the 2000 census. The incumbent is Republican Joe Heck, who has represented the 3rd district since January 2011.
Erin Bilbray, a Democratic National Committeewoman and founder of Emerge Nevada, sought the Democratic nomination to challenge Heck.[5] The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee invited Bilbray to the second inauguration of Barack Obama, where she met with party figures.[6] Erin Bilbray is the daughter of James Bilbray, who represented Nevada's 1st Congressional District from 1987 to 1995 and served in the Nevada State Senate from 1980 to 1986. Frank Kassela, a professional poker player, briefly ran for the Democratic nomination before dropping out and endorsing Bilbray.[7]
The 4th Congressional District is a new district that was created as a result of the 2010 Census.[8]
Located in the central portion of the state, it includes most of northern Clark County, parts of Douglas and Lyon counties, and all of Esmeralda, Lincoln, Mineral, Nye and White Pine counties. More than four-fifths of the district's population lives in Clark County. The incumbent is Democrat Steven Horsford, who has represented the 4th district since January 2013; he was defeated on November 4, 2014 in his bid for re-election by Cresent Hardy.
