City Councilman Mike Friedolfs joins the show to discuss his journey from California to Grand Forks, his work at Northrop Grumman, and his role on the city council and regional EDC. He shares personal updates about family, upcoming weddings, and what drew him to public service.

The conversation covers local priorities and controversies: Grand Forks’ top national ranking for project development, housing and downtown revitalization, airport recruitment efforts and travel to meet airlines, concerns about sole-source bidding for a large scoreboard project, and the importance of transparency and accessibility in local government.

Mike highlights plans for economic growth, infrastructure improvements, public safety collaboration, and community amenities like live music venues, while encouraging residents to stay engaged and attend city meetings.
