The Portland State Daily Vanguard has chosen to endorse Amanda Fritz for Portland City Council! In their 05/09/08 edition, Vanguard staff wrote:

"Amanda Fritz has been a watchdog of Portland politics for years, commenting on issues and improprieties through her blog. A nurse at OHSU, she is very aware of the problems with the city, such as the faltering public school system, and will come to the city council with fresh ideas and innovative solutions. Although Charles Lewis is a very knowledgeable, intelligent candidate, he represents stagnant Portland politics. Fritz is a refreshing alternative."

How delightful, that the 50 year-old mom is recognized by the Portland State newspaper as the candidate of refreshing change from politics-as-usual in Portland. Very astute, PSU students.
