Brooke Rose is a member of the Daniel Town Council, according to a June 1, 2026, meeting agenda.

Rose's path to the council was established following the cancellation of the municipal election that was originally scheduled for November 4, 2025. According to a town announcement dated September 25, 2025, the election was cancelled after candidate Jon Blotter withdrew his candidacy. This withdrawal resulted in the uncontested election of Rose and Stefanie Grady for four-year Town Council seats beginning in January 2026.

In her capacity as a councilmember, Rose was recorded as present during a Town Council meeting held on Monday, June 1, 2026, at the Wasatch County Services Building in Heber City. During this meeting, Rose was part of a quorum that included Mayor Scott Kohler and Councilmembers Eric Bennett, Gary Walton, and Stefanie Grady. The meeting was recorded by Clerk/Recorder Megan Goodrich.

The June 1, 2026, proceedings included a public comment period where residents addressed local concerns. One resident, Lisa Dinga, expressed concerns regarding a proposed Maverick Mine operation in Daniels Canyon. Dinga suggested that living near such a mine could present risks to the Town of Daniel, including impacts on health, economic stability, and the quality of life. During the discussion, Councilmember Grady noted that the proposed limestone mine could produce hazardous dust. Additionally, Councilmember Walton discussed the potential effects of the mining operation on Daniel Municipal Water.

As part of the town's official record-keeping, Rose has filed necessary documentation regarding her candidacy. The Daniel town website lists a Brooke Rose Declaration and Disclosure as well as a Brooke Rose Financial Disclosure Statement among the election-related documents. These filings are part of the public record maintained by the town to ensure transparency regarding candidates.

In addition to the mining discussion, the council held a hearing on June 1, 2026, regarding a property at 487 Cobble Creek Lane. The hearing concerned a violation of Town Code regarding nightly rentals. Clayton Preece, an attorney representing the Town of Daniel, stated that the town had issued a cease-and-desist letter on November 10, 2025, because the home was being used as a short-term rental in violation of Town Code. This determination followed an affirmation of the violation during a Town Council meeting on January 6, 2025. The hearing addressed Town Code 8.21.26, which prohibits short-term rentals, defined as a single-family dwelling used for overnight lodging for a period of no less than one night and no more than 30 days.

As of the June 1, 2026, council meeting minutes, Brooke Rose serves as a member of the Daniel Town Council. Residents encounter her work through public council meetings and through the official election filings and financial disclosures maintained by the town government.
