Herhold: Winners and losers from the election Every election has its victors and vanquished -- the names on the ballot, the finishers in the hunt, the folks who wave their hands in triumph or clutch their spouses in defeat.

The chamber is proud to have supported the Open Space measure which won in last week's election!

Parks and open space measures win in Silicon Valley, East Bay and nationwide Voters nationwide approved $13 billion to fund parks, wildlife and open space measures, including in Silicon Valley, where Measure Q, a parcel tax, won passage, and in the East Bay

Congratulations, Sam!!!!
