Your Wednesday evening update on Salem news
Good evening, Salem.
Election workers are continuing to count ballots, and one Salem-Keizer School Board race remains tight after several rounds of counting in Marion and Polk counties.
Board member Satya Chandragiri, the sole incumbent running for re-election, is up by 446 votes over challenger Kelley Strawn, a Willamette University sociology professor, following an updated count from Polk County released late Wednesday afternoon.
An initial ballot count released at 8 p.m. Tuesday had Strawn ahead slightly. Votes from mailed ballots will continue to trickle in over the next week.
Marion County will release its next ballot count Thursday.
Here’s some other news of the day.
