Rouse Ave Bozeman, MT 59715 Dear Bozeman City Commission, My name is Lauren Dupuis and I am writing to apply for the open City Commissioner position in Bozeman, Montana. As a stay-at-home mom and a passionate advocate for community development, I believe that my skills and experience make me an ideal candidate for this role. Several years ago, my husband and I found ourselves facing the challenges and pressures that come with raising a family in a large city. While our old home offered countless opportunities and amenities, we realized that it lacked the sense of community and connection we desired for our children. We longed for a place where our family could thrive in a close-knit environment, surrounded by natural beauty and a strong sense of community. After extensive research and visits to various cities, we found our answer in Bozeman. Bozeman, with its stunning landscapes, vibrant downtown, and welcoming community, provided the perfect setting for us to build a fulfilling life for our family. The abundance of outdoor recreational activities, such as hiking, skiing, and fishing, offered endless opportunities for our children to explore and appreciate the wonders of nature. Bozeman's strong sense of community has had a profound impact on our family. The genuine warmth and friendliness of the people here have made us feel welcomed and included from the moment we arrived. We have found a supportive network of friends and neighbors who share our commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and prosperous community for all residents. This sense of belonging has inspired me to become more actively involved in local initiatives and to seek opportunities to contribute to the betterment of Bozeman. I have recently been elected to the Flanders Mill neighborhood board of directors. As a stay-at-home mom, I have had the privilege of dedicating my time and energy to raising my children and supporting my family. This role has taught me invaluable skills in organization, communication, and problem solving. I believe that my experience as a stay-at-home mom has equipped me with a unique perspective, as I have witnessed firsthand the impact of policy decisions on families and the importance of creating a supportive environment for all residents. If given the opportunity to serve as a City Commissioner, I am committed to being a strong voice for the community and advocating for policies that promote sustainable growth and safe and welcoming environments for all residents. I will work tirelessly to ensure that Bozeman remains a place where families can thrive and individuals can pursue their dreams. My dedication, passion, and ability to collaborate effectively will be invaluable assets in this role. I would be honored to serve in this capacity. Thank you for considering my application. Sincerely, Lauren Dupuis 619-549-6693 Lespinosa120452@icloud.com
