PORTAGE | Supporters of Portage mayor-elect Olga Velazquez were prepared for her victory Tuesday night.

As soon as it was announced she'd won the close election over Republican James Snyder, supporters hoisted one of her campaign signs above their head. It had already been altered to reflect her victory, changed from "Olga Velazquez for Mayor" to "Olga Velazquez IS Mayor."

'No Lake County Politics' at Snyder hub
PORTAGE | A handful of supporters wearing anti-Olga Velazquez shirts tying the Democrat to Lake County politics, were rooting on James Snyder, Tuesday night. Snyder made no mention of the supporters' message during his concession, but has previously said he had no ties to similar yard signs that sprung up late in the campaign.
