Dear Commissioners:
I give my most enthusiastic recommendation to appoint Padden Murphy to the commission
seat being vacated by I-Ho Pomeroy. In short, Padden lives, breathes, and sleeps thinkingabout the Bozeman community, and how to keep a neighborhood feel while also allowing for
growth. Having been raised in Great Falls, he knows Montana well, and has a very specialplace for it in his heart. He is a good listener, collaborator, and thinker. He is open to new
ideas. Padden has already volunteered his time on the Development Board, so he has firsthandexperience in city governance, and has spearheaded several city and statewide initiatives. He
and his wife Lumay are deeply invested in Bozeman as they raise their two young childrenhere. And they are both truly good people - doing good work for the right reasons. I have
absolutely no hesitation in giving Padden Murphy my highest possible support.
Best, christine hrenya (Bozeman resident)
