Good morning Bozeman City Commissioners!
I hope you are all doing wonderfully :) I am writing again in support of namingEmma 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 Christopherand 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 femalecommissioner. 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 thinkthe 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, andreliable. 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
