To: Bozeman City Commissioners
I am requesting you appoint Douglas Fischer to the Bozeman City Commission. I have
served on the Bozeman School Board with Douglas for nearly nine years and have found
him to be intellectually curious and a genuine listener. Douglas is always seeking insight
and knowledge so he can understand a problem from all vantage points and help identify
the best course of action for any situation.
Douglas has been an integral part of the Bozeman School Board. I first got to know
Douglas when we worked together on the High School Advisory Committee exploring
options for a second high school. Through that collaborative process, I first witnessed
Douglas taking a deep dive into a problem, examining it from all sides, researching multiple
options, and then steadily putting in the hard work to build consensus.
Managing the challenges around COVID and equity policies within the district, Douglas was
always respectful and kind and listened to the arguments presented by all sides. He worked
to understand everyone’s hopes and fears and then helped design solutions that would
lead to best outcomes.
Douglas will serve as a Bozeman City Commissioner without an agenda. He has the desire
to rebuild trust in local government and help the city wisely navigate an ever-changing
landscape.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions. I wholeheartedly support
Douglas Fischer and ask that you please do the same.
Sincerely,
Tanya Reinhardt
