Subject:City Commission Comment - Advocacy for Brian LaMeres

Good day -
The purpose of my email is to advocate for and solicit your support for Brian
LaMeres.
As a constituent, I expect a commission balanced to fairly represent our
community, both conservative and liberal. Mr. LaMeres is an excellent candidate
to represent the local constituents with conservative values and ideology.
Mr. LaMeres has a long, two-decade track record of superior performance with
the City of Bozeman Finance Department. He fully understands the financial
impact of initiatives that may benefit/impact our community. Being born, raised, andeducated in Montana, Mr. LaMeres would perpetuate traditional Montana values
with his candidacy. Additionally, he has worked for over 16 years on the Affordable
Housing Advisory Board, well versed in the challenges facing our growing
community.
On the other hand, Chris Coburn is not right for Bozeman. Mr. Coburn lacks
necessary fiscal experience and openly supports Defunding the Police. I firmly
support our men and women of Law Enforcement, and believe Mr. Coburn lacks thenecessary fiscal experience necessary for this position to fully comprehend the
impacts to our community. Besides the financial impact of defunding the police, I
believe violence and crime will increase, negatively impacting quality of life and
property values in our wonderful community.
In this time of uncertainty, it is imperative we have a commission with exceptional
fiscal experience to drive budget accountability and community tax dollar
transparency. I respectfully request your support of Brian LaMeres for CityCommission.
Respectfully,
Theresa HerwegBozeman, MT
