Boise Mayor Dave Bieter was all smiles on election night, as he celebrated winning a second term in office.

BOISE -- Incumbent Dave Bieter won a second term as mayor of Idaho's capital city, easily beating challenger Jim Tibbs.

Bieter, a Democrat, won with 64 percent to 36 percent for Tibbs, a Republican.
