Bozeman City Commission,
I'm writing to you today to voice my support for the nomination of Chris Coburn for City
Commissioner. As a medical student through the WWAMI program, I have had multiple
opportunities to learn from Chris and get involved in local initiatives geared towards making health
care available for all. Continually I am blown away by his ability to tackle tough topics with
compassion and offer important perspectives to aid you in seeing every situation from multiple
angles. He is concerned about every individual in his community regardless of their gender, race, etc.
and I look forward to being in a community that welcomes all individuals and what they have to
offer.
Chris is a perfect example of resilience. He was raised in challenging circumstances and worked hard
to educate himself, and came out of it smiling and eager to help any person who comes his way. He
encourages others to get educated, to become aware of all the wonderful people in this community,
and know how to offer a medical environment that will be comfortable and safe for them. I believe
he could do this same thing with our community, and help all individuals to be heard and valued.
His background in public health could be especially helpful in times of covid. As we have seen in the
recent weeks, the burden of the pandemic is continuing to rise and affect more and more individuals
each day. With his education, Chris can help the Bozeman community in aiding to make important
decisions that will keep the community safe and cautious as we move through this difficult time.
Lastly, Chris is an incredible person in general. He is always open and welcoming, willing to hear all
perspectives and have a genuine conversation with you. He aspires for nothing but a better, more
aware community and I appreciate all he has done already to help me broaden my perspectives.
Please consider him for city commissioner, I believe he could be a unique addition that could be the
cause of much good!
Sincerely,
Holly Winn
