2014 Reno mayoral election explained

The 2014 Reno mayoral election was held on November 4, 2014 to elect the mayor of Reno, Nevada. The mayor of Reno is a non-partisan position. The incumbent mayor, Bob Cashell, was not eligible to run due to term limits. Hillary Schieve was elected mayor.[1] In February 2014, Eddie Lorton, who was a candidate himself, led a campaign which eliminated two candidates, Dwight Dortch and Jessica Sferraza, from the race.[2] The Nevada Supreme Court responded to Lorton's suit by ruling that people who already served for 12 years on the city council could not run for mayor. Although Cashell had previously said he would not endorse any candidate, in late May he endorsed Raymond "Pez" Pezonella.[3]
