Dear Bozeman City Commission,
I would like to express my support for Emma Bode for the City Commission Vacancy
Appointment. Emma would make a great commissioner for a number of reasons.
First, her background in data analysis will compel a more pragmatic approach to local
governance. While the heart may be why people want to serve the people, an effective
commissioner must be able to lead with their mind.
Second, Emma already has extensive experience working with the City of Bozeman —
developing Bozeman’s Climate Plan and Chairing the Bozeman Sustainability Advisory
Board — so she is well positioned to fully perform the duties of the office almost
immediately.
Finally, Emma is a young renter in a city full of them and would be replacing another on the
commission. Local government cannot truly be representative without leaders with a
diversity of backgrounds and experiences within the community.
Sincerely,
Joe Hancock
