Mor runs for mayor

I graduated from California Baptist University in April 2021 and was ready for a change of scenery, which is what brought me to North Idaho. Currently, I’m enjoying being newly married. My husband and I spend our weekends huckleberry picking, working on home improvement projects, taking my husky Judah on walks, spoiling our kitten Opal, and making plans to travel while we earn the means to do so. I love hanging out with family, studying indigenous arts and culture, going on outdoor adventures and creating wood-burning projects. I’m also always down for a casual debate about anything from philosophy and politics to the best local coffee shops. My childhood was filled with dreams of working in almost every field — archeologist, architect, writer, historian, aviator and mathematician were just a few titles I hoped to hold one day. After my first semester in college, I found myself wondering how choosing a major was ever going to be in the cards for me. But, with a little help from friends and family, I realized that the title of “journalist” is a good title for someone who is interested in a little bit of everything. When you can’t be everything, you can always write about everything. | October 4, 2023 1:00 AM
SANDPOINT — Frytz Mor, a candidate running for mayor, has a goal for the city — to keep Sandpoint livable, local, and accountable.
Mor’s vision for himself is being a people’s mayor, willing to listen and foster meaningful conversations.
He believes local leaders are running the city like a corporation instead of a community and the future is being leveraged with long-term debt.
“We’ve seen the results of relying on so-called ‘experienced leaders,’ and it’s clear; our city is becoming increasingly unaffordable,” Mor said. “Working families and young people struggle to make ends meet.”
Mor said hopes to create an economy that accommodates a wider variety of demographics.
“Together, we can build a consensus and a strong economy to create more opportunities for everyone. In doing so, we can keep the American dream alive right here in Sandpoint. No matter which way you lean — left, right, or center — I want to hear from you. As a united community we have the power to create a bright and prosperous future.”
Mor will be hosting a campaign party meet-and-greet Thursday at 6 p.m. at 130 N. Sixth Ave., Sandpoint.
