[font size="4"]Burlesque dancer wiggles into seat on Portland school board[/font]

On Tuesday, Holly Seeliger, a 26-year-old teacher and burlesque dancer, won the District 2 seat on the Portland Board of Public Education, getting 59 percent of the vote to defeat a candidate with an ideal pedigree to serve the school district.

That candidate, Jeanne Swanton, has 17 years of financial experience, including a stint as a vice president of Citigroup. Unlike Seeliger, she has children in the school system and is active in the Reiche Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization.

Swanton, 45, also had a significant fundraising advantage over Seeliger, who got one contribution, of $100 (from the Green Independent Party). Seeliger's pre-election finance report shows she spent $690 on palm cards and yard signs.
