To commissioners:
I’m writing in absolute support in the appointment of Emma Bode to the commission
I had the pleasure of first meeting Emma Bode a year ago when I came to my first Gallatin
Valley Sunrise meeting with my partner. From what I can remember from that first meeting is
that Emma kind of shuffled me into the room, sat me down, and gave me a big plate of food and
said “Welcome, we’re happy your here”. Emma has never stopped being inclusive and
welcoming of everyone she crosses paths with. In the year since, I haven’t stopped learning
from Emma. From how to dance like no one is watching, how to write a campaign proposal that
looks at a year of events, and how to create public comment like this. For matters like the
Northwestern Rate Case, and how to show up for other young Montanans, like when we went to
Helena and were there for the kids during the Held v. Trial, Emma is always the first to set the
example of support and enthusiasm to get things done. Emma covers every base, always has
the thorough questions to dive deeper whether it’s on the sustainability board or when we sit in
on a PSC meetings, even in our weekly Sunrise meeting she asks the deeper questions and
wants what’s best for our hub and our community. There’s never enough knowledge for her, she
always wants to learn, she’s always doing research with a million tabs open on her computer.
I’ve sadly only known her for a year but it certainly seems like she is someone that will be in my
life for a long time. I hope you can see what many of our community sees and appoint her to sit
with you.
