Re-Elect Barbara Ausiello

Barbara Ausiello was elected to Avon’s Town Council in 2021. She is a respected Realtor and a former Managing Producer for A&E Networks, with extensive career experience in overseeing large-scale budgets, marketing, communications, and logistics. A sixteen-year resident of Avon, Barbara has served on several school committees, the Recreation and Parks Commission, and 100 Women Who Can. She is a graduate of the Campaign School at Yale, and the Democratic State Party Representative for the 8th Senatorial district. She is a life-long champion of equality in education, empowering women and girls, and environmental stewardship.

Barbara lives with her husband Jeff, a senior managing producer at ESPN, and her daughters Mia and Lucy. In her free time, she enjoys reading, travel, beach days, family game night, and concerts.

As an Avon resident, I care deeply about my community and how our tax dollars are spent. As a parent, I feel strongly about maintaining our excellent schools for ALL of Avon’s children. As a local realtor, I understand what attracts people to our town and the challenges families face when they decide to move away. I believe we must elect leaders who are forward-thinking, nimble, rational, courageous, and able to adapt to changes. I lead by listening and make decisions with an open mind.
