Jenn Daniels

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 as a self described "homemaker".[1] Early in her initial campaign Jenn 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]
