Connie Barnes

Term 2026 – Present

I’ve proudly called the Vinton area home since 1990 and have spent the last 14 years serving our community as a real estate agent—a career I truly love! My husband, Mike, and I have been married for over 18 years. We raised our blended family on our acreage just east of town and recently made the move into Vinton, settling into what we call our forever “retirement” home.

We are blessed with 5 wonderful children, 3 energetic grandkids, and one more arriving in January—each bringing so much joy to our lives. Our family is deeply rooted in faith, community, and country. We believe in showing up, working hard, and treating everyone with fairness and transparency.

I am excited to serve on the Vinton Unlimited Board. With long-standing local experience, a passion for community growth, and a commitment to collaboration, I am honored to help support Vinton’s success—today and into the future.
