Albany has named its winners for the "If I Were Mayor" contest, ringing in not only local prizes but state accolades. The Oregon Mayors Association "If I Were a Mayor contest" encourages students in grades 4 through 12 to communicate their ideas if they were city leaders. Mayor Alex Johnson II shakes the hand of Noah Salazar, a Timber Ridge student who won first place in the state in the 'If I were Mayor" contest.  This year, two of Albany's local winners swept up state prizes. Dozens gathered to celebrate the winners in City Hall on Wednesday May 10.
