Dear Bozeman City Commission,
I would like to express my support for Emma Bode for the City Commission Vacancy
Appointment. Bozeman has always been a city of many diverse minority communities, even
if we are sometimes invisible to the broader public. Over the last year we have lost two
champions of representation - I-Ho Pomeroy and Chris Coburn. Not only would Emma
Bode's lived experience as a queer woman in Montana help her better represent those of
us who have been treated as "the other" than someone who has not faced such challenges;
but additionally her data driven expertise and leadership experience from the Sunrise
Movement would be of great benefit to everyone in this city. She is the clearly best choice
and the maximally beneficial person to appoint to our city commission.
Joshua McCaffrey
