Bobbie Daniel has been elected chairwoman of the Mesa County Board of Commissioners.

Daniel succeeds Commissioner Janet Rowland, who served in 2023.

“As we step into a new year, I am honored to accept the role of chair of the Mesa County Board of Commissioners,” Daniel said. “I am grateful for this opportunity to serve alongside my colleagues, and I am eager to carry forward the dedicated service exemplified by my predecessor,” Daniel said.

The leadership of the three-member board is typically assigned on a rotating basis at the beginning of each year. As chairwoman, Daniel presides at meetings and signs county orders. She also votes on all questions before the board unless she’s excused by a standing rule or the consent of the other members.

Daniel also represents Mesa County on other boards, including agricultural advisory and animal services boards, the Federal Mineral Lease District Board of Directors, Grand Junction Economic Partnership, Mesa County Workforce Development Board, Parks Improvement Advisory Board and Western Colorado Business Development Corporation Board. In addition, Daniel serves on the Colorado and Gunnison river basin roundtables.
