Marin Abounds in Jared Huffman's Photography Contest – Have You Voted Yet?

With a district that spans the California Coast from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Oregon border, Rep. Jared Huffman's geographic terrain has no shortage of natural beauty.

The freshman congressman from San Rafael has seized on that beauty with a Landscape Photography Competition on his Facebook page, which allows his constituents to upload photos from anywhere in the district. The top two winning photos will be published as Huffman’s official Twitter header photo and Facebook cover photo for three months apiece.

“I’ve received over 200 photos of what is undoubtedly the most beautiful Congressional District in the nation,” Congressman Huffman said. “Voting ends this Thursday and I look forward to seeing the winning photos.”

Not surprisingly, Marin residents and Marin landscapes abound in the competition, with 94 of the 207 entries being taken of Marin landscapes or by Marin residents.

To vote, Marin residents should go to Huffman’s Facebook page and “like” their favorite photos. The two winning photographs will determined by most Facebook "likes."

Voting closes Thursday, July 18 at noon PT, and the top two winning photographs will be announced later that day.
