Donovan photos on MyRecordJournal

If you haven’t had a chance yet, check out the photo gallery of Chris Donovan’s big day Wednesday. When Donovan was elected Speaker of the House, R-J chief photographer Chris Zajac was there to capture all the action, including family and friends. You can find the photos on the Newspaper Photo section of the web site or under Local News.
As someone who has known Donovan since he first appeared on the political scene, it is not hard to understand his rise to the second most powerful position in state government. Chris takes his work seriously, but never takes himself too seriously. He is painfully down to earth and would rather give credit to others than take it. I’ve always enjoyed running into him when I’m off duty because he likes to talk about things like sports, music and family and has never been one to do a lot of griping about coverage. It’s hard not to like Chris even when you vehemently disagree with him. I’m guessing there were quite a few Republicans that were happy for him on Wednesday. Congratulations Chris.
