Council Member Paul Pitner Announces Bid for Mayor

Minot’s mayoral race just gained another familiar name. City Councilman Paul Pitner has thrown his hat into the ring, becoming the third sitting alderman to step forward since Tom Ross resigned earlier this month. Pitner, who’s served since 2018, says he’s running to restore integrity to the office and renew civic pride. With Council President Mark Jantzer, Alderman Rob Fuller, and citizen candidate Josiah Roise also in the mix, the coming special election is shaping up to be anything but quiet.
