Coble staffer moves to Lowe's

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Dec. 5, 2014

A legislative assistant for Rep. Howard Coble (R-N.C.) has left the soon-to-be-closing office for Lowe's Cos. Inc.

Meredith Preloh spent her five-year congressional career with Coble, beginning as constituent liaison in 2009 before becoming legislative assistant in 2010. Her new title at Lowe's is government affairs manager.

The home improvement chain, which was founded in North Carolina, has lobbied for years on issues ranging from the Marketplace Fairness Act to elements of the Affordable Care Act and lead renovation and repair. The company spent $230,000 on in-house lobbying alone in the third quarter this year.

Preloh earned her bachelor's in communications from Elon University in 2005.
