Good morning Bozeman City Commissioners!
I hope you are all doing wonderfully :) I am writing again in support of naming Emma Bode to the City Commission
in replacement of Christopher Coburn.
There are three reasons I think Emma is the best person for this job:
1. Emma aligns very closely with Christopher on his political views and vision for the future if Bozeman. Bozeman
residents overwhelmingly voted for Christopher and thus, I think this is the most democratic move as it very much
represents what the general populous wants.
2. Emma identifies as a woman and currently we only have one female commissioner. Gender (and age, race, etc)
diversity is very important and I would be disappointed to see a commission that is 80% white men, even though I
think the men on the commission are currently outstanding.
3. Emma has already shown her dedication to this type of work. She’s serving on one of your working boards and is,
simply put, brilliant, hard working, and reliable. She has earned her stripes. Time to put her in and let her truly
shine.
Thank you all for your hard work! I appreciate each of you.
Cheers,
Emily Allison
