Good morning,
My name is Amber Ikeman and I live in Bozeman. I’m writing to express my support
for appointing Christopher Coburn to the City Commission. I support Christopher
because:
He understands the challenges around affordable housing, a major issue in our
community that affects me along with my age range (30s) and income bracket
greatly. He is also dedicated to improving mental health in our community,
another extremely critical issue.
His perspective and voice as a queer person of color is invaluable and much
needed as part of our city’s leadership. He has long advocated for the inclusion
of underrespresented voices and will continue to advocate for racial and gender
equality.
He has the experience, judgement, and passion needed to meaningfully
contribute to the Commission and address some of our communities most
pressing challenges. He cares deeply about our community and making it
better.
He is a genuine, kind, thoughful, intelligent person who already contributes so
much to our community and would make an incredible Commissioner. I would
be thrilled to see him as a member of the City Commission, and more confident
in the Commission knowing he is part of it.
Thank you.
Amber Ikeman
