Howell returns to work as county elections seek stability
Melanie Howell
When school trustee elections for Libby and Troy were held last week, Lincoln County Election Administrator Melanie Howell was back running the show.
Howell returned to the job May 1 after she was put on administrative leave March 31. At the time, county Clerk and Recorder Corinna Brown didn’t say why Howell was put on leave, but said her office would be managing the elections with help from election office assistant Sierra Gustin.
Howell spoke to The Western News on Election Night, Tuesday, May 6, about the situation and her return to the job she was hired to do in May 2023.
