Final results:
Becker wins mayor seat.
Thank you Bozeman, Montana!
I look forward to serving
you as mayor and doing the people's work.
We organized for this race and won the campaign but
the real work begins now.
Let's use this momentum to ensure Bozeman is always a
great place to live, play, work & raise a family!
Thank you for stopping by the Becker for Mayor
website.
The Becker 09 campaign is working hard to serve you!
I love Bozeman. I have had family
here most of my life and moved here on my own when I was 18. I ski, hike, fly and
enjoy our outdoor resources every chance I get. Although, this alone is not
why I live here. The blessings of a lively and involved community are
great. I am proud to call Bozeman my home and willing to do the work to make
it the best place to live in Montana. It is my hope that I may apply my decade long service history to this community
as your next mayor.
This campaign can be summarized in two words: effective
management. Bozeman's local government and City Commission must take
a proactive role in addressing the community's economic
concerns. There needs to be more coordination between our residents, the business community,
their employees and our governments to address
the economic recovery and budget priorities.
As a former economic development professional, I have championed hundreds of
projects with cities, counties, state agencies, divisions of the US
government and groups of businesses that have returned private investment
to communities. This profession necessitated a working knowledge of municipal and state
budgets and the expertise to make recommendations.
Currently, I serve the citizens of Bozeman on the City
Commission and manage a local manufacturing
operation, Montana
Craftsman Woodworks. I am
on the firing lines of the recession having to make every penny count,
responsible for budgeting, purchasing, personnel, sales and
accounting. Outside of work, I'm enjoying this incredible fall with
my wife, Nolita, harvesting a bumper tomato crop and sneaking in Bridger
hikes between campaign
work.
We are excited about the campaign, meeting with
community groups, local businesses and going door-to-door to find out how the City
Commission can best serve the people it represents. If you would like to
chat, have breakfast or invite me to visit
with your organization, please don't hesitate to contact
me.
Warmest regards,
