Regarding the upcoming Sandpoint mayoral election, I am voting for Kate McAlister.

Kate is clearly the most qualified and civic-minded of the three candidates, with a wealth of city government experience.

On the other hand, her opponents, Frytz Mor and Jeremy Grimm, represent the factions that are dividing North Idaho, namely right-wing extremists and land developers. Mor wants to make Sandpoint an independent redoubt, and Grimm claims he wants to control growth while at the same time being one of the key developers who want to decimate the Trestle Creek area.

We need Kate’s experience, wisdom, and moderation. Please vote for Kate McAlister for mayor.
