Bozeman City Commissioners 121 N. Rouse Bozeman MT 59715 Dear Commissioners: My former colleague, Jennifer Madgic, is submitting an application to be considered for an open spot on the Bozeman City Commission. Jennifer (Jen) and I worked together for over 10 years serving as Regional Directors for U.S. Senator Jon Tester. Jen served as Regional Director for Bozeman and I was Regional Director for Billings. In our roles, we had to know the ins and outs of everything within our city, our county and the surrounding region. We were responsible for understanding the needs and the requests of our constituents, the city and the county. We played a big role in which concerns were brought to the Senator, in hopes of making change. Jen was reliable, careful and had good instincts when planning the Senator’s visits to Bozeman. I often consulted with her for ideas and recommendations for the Senator’s visits to Billings. Jen is a professional, dependable and cheerful hardworking public servant. She is able to handle difficult situations with trying personalities. Our job wasn’t easy. We had to be responsive and courteous to the public. Jen is extremely knowledgeable and understands how to follow the rules of a strict US Senate operation. She worked tirelessly one-on-one with constituents because she truly cared about each individual, whether it be someone who needed assistance with veteran benefits, social security or Medicaid. Jen not only attended meetings on behalf of the Senator, but researched details in order to better understand how the Senator could make a difference. She handled all business in a bi-partisan way…so important in her role as Regional Director for a US Senator, because she understood that he represented all Montanans, not just one party. Jen truly excelled in all her government roles…as a community planner in Helena and Gallatin County, an aide to the Rhode Island and Montana legislatures and in her work with Senator Tester. I am proud to also call her a very good friend. She is dependable, honest and level-headed. She is kind, gentle and takes the time to truly listen. She is a problem solver and an extremely hard worker. Jen loves her home town of Bozeman….the businesses, the people and the government. I hope you’ll give her application great consideration. You are fortunate to have such a qualified candidate apply. Sincerely, Rachel Rachel Court 406-794-9915 Rachelcourt0108@gmail.com 2004 Pine Street, Billings MT 59101
