The Portland Mercury endorsed me in their print edition today!

"What can come across as nit-picky devotion to process is actually her biggest strength in disguise: Fritz is intensely principled. She knows exactly what she stands for and what she'd like to do as a city commissioner — ensure basic services for every city neighborhood, see to it that all corners of the city are treated equally, and follow up on city actions to see if they're working as planned. Will she ask tough questions? Absolutely. Will she hold things up for the sake of excessive process? We don't think so.

"We've come to see her strong and clear values as an asset, a focused lens through which she'll efficiently assess both broad city projects and budget line items, before arriving at the right decision for the city as a whole. And then she'll see that it gets done. Frankly, now that we've figured out Fritz, we're excited to unleash her on the council (and especially on Commissioner Randy Leonard; Fritz's future office shares a door with Leonard's, and we're giddy over the idea that she'll barge through it regularly, to insist he back up his schemes with facts, figures, and transparency)."

"Fritz is more than ready to take on city hall, and we're ready to get behind her 100 percent. Vote for her."

Thank you, Mercury editors and reporters!
