I'm Jen Ciolino, and I'm running for Newtown Village Council because I believe local leadership matters. And I believe every voice in our community matters.

I've lived in this community for over 8 years as a neighbor, a parent, and an active citizen. I've shown up, spoken out, and stood up for transparency, responsibility, and community care. I’ve challenged decisions when needed and worked to build bridges across difference.

Professionally, I’ve spent decades leading complex initiatives, listening to diverse voices, and delivering real outcomes—not just promises. I bring that same mindset to public service: ask questions, listen closely, lead with clarity and care.

I believe leadership is a form of service. It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about being present, being willing to grow, and making decisions rooted in shared values. That’s the kind of leader I strive to be—for my family, for my neighbors, and for Newtown.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I hope to earn your support—and your trust.
