Hi! My name is Amelie Vernooy, and I'm a resident of Bozeman Montana, zip code 59715!
I'm emailing to provide a public comment about one of the candidates for a new CityCommissioner.
I think Christopher Coburn would be a good choice in a lot of ways, he's a health education
specialist with a degree in public health during a time when we are going through a massiveand serious public health crisis. I also think his values and experiences would mean a lot to
many Montanans. I know that as a queer Bozemanite it would be incredible to know thatsomeone like me could be a valued and important part of shaping the future of our city, that
someone like me is a valued and important part of Bozeman's future. Christopher Coburn alsohas a long track record of involvement with local organizations and nonprofits which speaks to
someone who is genuinely and deeply concerned with the betterment of his community andthe opinions and needs of the people within it. We need people engaged with the community--
we need people who are representative of the community--and I believe Christopher Coburn isboth of those things.
Respectfully,
Amelie Vernooy
