“Ms. Danello has my full confidence to lead the Town Clerk’s Office through the upcoming elections,” Hellen wrote. “At this critical juncture, it is essential to have someone lead the upcoming elections who is familiar with the town and has the local experience of our elections system, staff and town geography.
