Congratulations to Jeff Reardon, the Working Families Party, and other organizations that flexed their collective muscle in that race. That's a big win for WFP and in a Democratic Primary.
Congrats to Jefferson Smith for coming from behind in the face of massive media buys from both of his opponents.
Congrats to Dick Shouten. That's a big win for land use proponents at ground zero of Oregon's land use fight.
Congrats to Mary Nolan and Amanda Fritz. I am really looking forward to watching that race take shape in the general election.

Right now Bike Walk Vote's back-of-the-envelope count looks like:
9 endorsements 7 wins 2 run-offs
Granted, four wins were gimmes (Novick/Keny-Guyer/Dirksen/Stacey), but in the competitive races, it looks like we won three (Chase/Schouten/Reardon) and took two to run-offs (Smith/Nolan).
A good night for people who care about transportation choices!
