The 2014 Wyoming Senate election was held on November 4, 2014, to elect members to the Wyoming Senate for its 63rd session as part of the 2014 United States elections. Partisan primaries were held on August 19. While 2014 was widely characterized as a "red wave" election, Republicans made no gains in the state senate, as no Democratic-held seat faced any opposition candidates in the general election. Of the fifteen seats up for election, only four saw competition between Republicans and Democrats, with Republicans winning all four.[1]
