The August 26, 2014, general election in Brevard County featured three seats up for election. Andy Ziegler was the only incumbent to seek re-election in 2014. He faced challengers Denise Coyle, Dale D. Davis and Dean Paterakis in the District 5 election. The general elections for Districts 1 and 2 featured challengers seeking to replace outgoing board members Barbara A. Murray and Michael Krupp. Misty Belford and Paul Chinaris were competing in the District 1 race while John Craig, Bob Mentillo and Keith Yarbrough were vying for the District 2 seat.

The general election determined if candidates for each seat could garner a majority of the vote total. Since no candidate received 50 percent plus one of the general election votes in Districts 3 and 5, the top two vote recipients in those races advanced to the runoff election on November 4, 2014.

Belford won the general election for District 1. The races for Districts 3 and 5 were decided in the runoff election. Craig and Yarbrough advanced to the runoff election for District 3, while Ziegler and Coyle advanced for District 5.

Campaign themes

2014

Davis provided the following stances on the proposed half-cent sales surtax and common core standards on his campaign website:

"	Half-Cent sales surtax Presently, as it is proposed by the Superintendent, I am against it. It is not defined in duration. Superintendent Binggeli said 6-10 years. When only three years would cover the differed capital projects. Only ask taxpayers for what you need. There is no accountability. By the Superintendent just throwing out a guess of $210-400 million dollars, (6-10 years), and having no defined plan of what these dollars will go to. Lack of honesty and transparency. There has been, and continues to be a spending problem, not a revenue problem. BPS was doing great in the "pre-bubble" years prior to 2005-2007. That reckless spending, lack of vision, continues with less revenue. I could support a three year sunset surtax, only if there is a one half mill deduction off Brevard citizens TRIM notice, and a blue ribbon citizen advisory to line item audit every penny of tax dollars taken in. Florida Standards ​The Florida Standards under A.I.R ~ American Institutes of Research ​Are in my opinion nothing more than Common Core lite. I agree we need standards to test the advancement of our students, but not by making them choose a profession by the eighth grade. Education is a State's right issue. Article IX Section I defines a free education to all children a "paramount duty of the state". We must support our children and our teachers, staff, Principals. ​As it is written and implemented, Common Core is the Obamacare of Education. It lays out a future to be designed by Microsoft and Google.	”
