Matthew W. Smith, Chairman - I was born and raised in Farmington. I graduated from Mt. Blue High School in 1988 and enlisted in the Navy for four years, and served until 1992. We have one son, Tim, who recently welcomed a baby boy. I have been a self-employed logger since my discharge from the Navy. I had the honor of coaching baseball for approximately 16 years. I have served on various Boards and Committees, including the Budget Committee and as an alternate member of the Planning Board. I am honored to have been chosen to represent the citizens of Farmington and my door is always open. Please feel free to contact me as I will always listen to any concerns, and I look forward to the challenge ahead. 
Richard M. Morton, Vice Chairman - Serving as a Farmington Selectman is a special privilege. I was Judge of Probate for Franklin County for 36 years and practiced law in Farmington for over four decades. After graduating from Farmington High School in 1966, I went on to Dartmouth College, Boston University Law School, and five years as an Army Judge Advocate. My wife, Joyce Smith Morton, and I live in my boyhood home in Fairbanks. We have four children, between us, and seven grandchildren. Town Government has always been an interest of mine, and I have great respect for the Selectmen and Selectwomen who have served our community. I look forward to working for Farmington and its citizens, and I urge folks to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Dennis E. O'Neil, Secretary - I appreciate the opportunity to serve the town as a Selectman. Unlike the other current Selectmen, I am from away, but my lovely and talented wife is a Rangeley girl. We have six children, 18 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren so far. We chose to move here in 2005 and are very happy that we did. We have both been involved in many local, civic, charitable, church and town organizations and committees since arriving. The community has accepted and embraced us as we have embraced it. I have a background in residential construction and municipal service, among other things. I believe I can add value to the Board and contribute to the growth and stability of this very special place.
Scott H. Landry, Jr. - I am proud to again serve on the Farmington Selectboard - having taken a break to serve 6 years in the Maine Legislature. I live on a small farm with my wife Brenda. We have 7 children, 10 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. I was born in Dexter, graduated from Farmington State College in 1970, and have lived in many parts of Maine before settling in Franklin County. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Randall D. Gauvin - I would like to thank the citizens of Farmington for allowing me the opportunity to serve on the Select Board. I was born in Caribou, but have lived in Farmington since 1976, when my wife Ruth and I moved here so she could finish her degree at UMF. We came to love the area and its people, and have never left. I received a degree in Natural Resources Management from the University of Maine at Orono, but took an EMT course my last semester there and decided that providing emergency medical care was the best way to serve others. I was a paramedic in Farmington for 12 years, then went to Duke University where I graduated as a Physician Assistant in 1991. I worked in the Emergency Department at Franklin Memorial Hospital for 28 years, retiring in 2020. We raised two children in Farmington and have one grandson. I am involved with church and various civic organizations, all of which emphasize service to others. Being on the Select Board seems like a natural fit to furthering this aim. Please contact me if I can help in any way.
