Dear City Commission,
My name is Mikaela Byers and I live at 626 East Cottonwood St., Bozeman MT
59715.
I support appointing Christopher Coburn to the City Commission. I support
Christopher because:
He is a young community leader who has worked to build relationships and
connections across Bozeman. In this way, he is well positioned and prepared
to immediately be effective as a Commissioner.
He has the experience, judgement, and passion needed to meaningfully
contribute to the Commission and address some of our communities most
pressing challenges.
He has long advocated for the inclusion of underrepresented voices in all the
spaces he occupies. He has worked to create more diverse and equitable
systems, and will bring that knowledge and focus to the Commission
He is trusted in this community – known to be an engaging, respectful and
accountable partner. He has the demonstrated ability to truly engage and
foster collaboration.
He can relate to the many people who are impacted by our housing crisis. He
understands and relates to the growing population of young professionals in
Bozeman, and offers perspective and lived experience the commission
needs.
Sincerely,Mikaela Byers-- She/Her831-210-0409
