A tentative picture of Portland's next city council formed quickly on election night, but while the roster of leading candidates hasn't changed in the days since, it also hasn't solidified. There are still only two projected winners as of late Friday afternoon, according to The Oregonian: Steve Novick in District 3 and Olivia Clark in District 4. Ten council seats remain up in the air.

Ten other candidates have managed to hold on to their election night leads, but the races remain too close to call as of Friday evening. Three of the leading candidates were guests on KGW's Straight Talk on Friday: Candace Avalos in District 1, Dan Ryan in District 2 and Tiffany Koyama Lane in District 3. None of them have had the races called in their favor yet, but all three have maintained leads through the week that leave them well-positioned to eventually win.

They were also joined by Shannon Singleton, who is projected to win the race for Multnomah County's District 2 commission seat.
