I would like to voice my wholehearted support for the appointment of Chris Coburn as a City
Commissioner. As an instructor for the WWAMI Medical Education Program, Chris has time
and time again thoughtfully engaged medical students on how to best address inequities in
the Bozeman community through solution-driven discussions and workshops. He is a leader
that cares deeply about bettering the lives of those around him, and brings an expertise and
passion that are hard to come by in institutional structures. I firmly believe these attributes
coupled with Chris's extensive public health background make him the obvious choice to serve
our community in these trying times on the City Commission. I urge the current members of
the Commission to make a bold statement of support for inclusivity and science by appointing
Chris.
Respectfully,
Parker Blekkenk
