To whom it may concern,
My name is Eva Happy and I am a Bozeman resident writing in full support of Emma Bode’s appointment to the
City Commission.
Emma has extensive experience with community organizing; she is a powerful and empathic leader; she has a strong
desire to understand the issues Bozeman faces and to find solutions that meet everyone’s needs; and her focus areas
of affordable housing and climate resilience resonate with me deeply.
I have lived in Bozeman for the past 5 years and feel strongly that the community would benefit from the voices of
more young people in leadership positions. In a growing and increasingly diverse community, we cannot ignore the
shortage of affordable housing. We also have no time to waste in addressing climate change, as this is an issue that
will only continue to impact our community more and more. I trust that Emma’s experience both in her work life
and volunteering for various local organizations has set her up to be just the right person to help address these
issues.
I truly cannot think of a better suited candidate to the City Commission than Emma Bode.
Sincerely,
Eva Happy
