It has been a busy couple of weeks, and as I surface to take a gulp of air, I realize I haven't yet posted thanking Willamette Week for their endorsement. Very sweet. My younger son chided me for my answer in the interview to the question of, "Where would you get a tattoo and what would it be?", saying, "C'mon, Mom, you don't actually have to get a tattoo, just pretend, go along". Happily, apparently the response to that question wasn't a major determinant in the decision.

From the Willamette Week endorsement:

"Fritz has convinced us she may be the only candidate in this race who won’t carry a rubber stamp into the Council. More likely, she’ll bring a magnifying glass and a red pen.

Fritz trumps all her opponents when it comes to knowledge of the city budget and its programs. She obsesses over detail and can be tenacious. She will make bureaucrats lose sleep. We foresee Council meetings grinding to a halt while Fritz and Randy Leonard get testy over the finer points of item 382a on the weekly consent agenda. But that’s OK: Let the bureaucrats sweat a bit. City Hall isn’t a clubhouse."

Thank you, Willamette Week!
