Jenn Daniels is an American politician who first entered the political field in December 2008 when she filed to run for town council in Gilbert, Arizona.[1] Early in her initial campaign Daniels came out against Big League Dreams (known as Cactus Yards as of 2019 [2]) in Gilbert by saying "I have no problem with public/private partnerships but the way Big League Dreams went down was absolutely devastating. It was a great idea but was done efficiently? No."[3] In May 2009, after a runoff, Jenn Daniels emerged as the top of what started as a 7-person race for two seats on town council.[4]
She served on town council from 2009–2016 and as vice-mayor from 2011–2012. She was elected to a four-year term as Mayor in August 2016. This opportunity came when John Lewis resigned his post to become president and CEO of East Valley Partnership.[5] She was re-elected as mayor in November 8, 2016 and resigned for personal reasons on August 11, 2020.[6] Councilmember Scott Anderson was appointed by a 7-0 vote of the City Council as interim mayor.[7]
Daniels has served on many regional boards including the Maricopa Association of Governments Regional Council, the Regional Transportation Policy Committee, the League of Cities and Towns and the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority.[8]
