Bozeman Deputy Mayor Douglas Fischer

This week, our reporter, Maia Maganito, sits down with Bozeman’s Deputy Mayor, Douglas Fischer. Fischer was elected deputy mayor last November and will become mayor in 2028. Previously, the public official served on the Bozeman city commission and the BSD7 school board. Maganito’s interview, which was recorded a few months ago, delves into topics like the city budget, student advocacy, and public safety. While it was recorded several months ago, it offers a glimpse into Fischer’s governing philosophy and has timely insights about how Bozeman is working towards safer public places and infrastructure. Maia recorded her interview at a coffee shop, so you’ll hear some background noise throughout the recording.
