Michelle Shields appointed interim elections administrator effective Dec. 8

Guadalupe County Commissioners Court · December 2, 2025

Summary

Following the announcement that elections administrator Lisa Hayes will leave the county, commissioners appointed Assistant Elections Administrator Michelle Shields as interim elections administrator at an $85,000 salary effective Dec. 8; the court also directed staff to post the permanent position.

Guadalupe County commissioners appointed Michelle Shields, the assistant elections administrator, as interim elections administrator effective Monday, Dec. 8, with a salary of $85,000. The action follows recognition of outgoing elections administrator Lisa Hayes for 18 years of county service; Hayes’ last day is Dec. 5.

The court said the interim appointment will preserve continuity as the county’s elections commission moves quickly to advertise and interview for the permanent position in early January. The judge said the elections commission planned to run an ad and hold interviews Jan. 6 or 7. Commissioners approved the interim appointment by motion and voice vote.

The court directed staff to finalize the job posting and indicated the interim appointment could last several months while the search proceeds.
