Election Night

Dan Saltzman celebrates his victory in the City Council race with his sister Julie Leuvrey (right) and mother, Marjorie Saltzman (left) at Billy Reeds in NE Portland on Tuesday May 16, 2006.

Last night was election night. I was sent to cover incumbant city counsler Dan Saltzman for the Portland Tribune. I love to cover politics, even though the photos on election nights are not always great. Lots of media and people all surrounding one guy who is trying to stare at a TV. At 8pm sharp, right when the polls closed, he was declared a winner, he smiled a bit, his mom and sister were happy and the party was over.....
