Former Fort Collins mayor Jeni Arndt will join Gov.-elect Phil Weiser’s Cabinet as director of rural enhancement. The Greeley Tribune reports Arndt served in the Colorado House of Representatives from 2015 to 2021, where she held leadership roles including assistant majority caucus chair, and led the House committee focused on agriculture, natural resources and water policy. She resigned from the House to run successfully for mayor in 2021, serving two terms in Fort Collins before declining in 2025 to seek a third term. When Weiser officially launched his 2026 Democratic gubernatorial campaign in January 2025, Arndt was named as one of his four official campaign co-chairs.
