The seat for District 14 became vacant on April 30, 2020, after the resignation of Kirk Watson .[ 6] A special election was 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.[ 7] On July 27, 2020, Eddie Rodriguez , dropped out of the race for a runoff election, resulting in Sarah Eckhardt being declared winner.[ 8]
