City Commissioner Dan Saltzman, center, talks with reporters Tuesday night after successfully running for re-election.
Although only 34 percent of Multnomah County voters cast their ballots in Tuesday's election, the election went on anyway. As a result, Democratic Gov. Ted Kulongoski will run against Republican Ron Saxton in the governor's race in November; county chair Diane Linn will give up her seat to newcomer Ted Wheeler; and city commissioners Erik Sten and Dan Saltzman will remain on the Portland City Council.
Final, unofficial results from the Multnomah County Elections Office are:
