Scott Landry
The Experience to Build Success
Running to represent Chesterville & Farmington, in District 75
About Scott
I live in Farmington with my wife, Brenda, where we’ve built our life around family, community, and hard work. Between our 7 children, 10 grandchildren, and now great-grandchildren, everything I do is grounded in making sure this remains a place where families can thrive.
Before retiring, I spent nearly four decades in the insurance business. Since then I’ve focused on running a small farm, keeping bees and pigeons, making maple syrup, and photography. I’ve also stayed deeply involved in the community, serving as a Farmington selectman and working with organizations like LEAP, the High Peaks Alliance, the Healthy Community Coalition, and the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce.
I’ve had the honor of representing this region in the Maine Legislature for three terms, serving on committees focused on wildlife, agriculture, healthcare, insurance, and marine resources. I worked across the aisle because that’s how you actually get things done.
I’m running again because Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike have asked me to come back and bring a steady, practical voice to Augusta. I’m not interested in the noise. I’m focused on doing the work, solving problems, and representing the people of this community the way they deserve.
What Matters Most
Cost of Living & Paychecks That Keep Up
I’ve spent my life working, running a small business, and now farming to provide for my family. I know what it means when costs go up faster than income—whether it’s heating your home, buying groceries, or paying property taxes. No one in Franklin County who’s working hard should be struggling just to get by. We need practical solutions that ease that pressure and support the people who keep our communities going.
Education & Opportunity
Farmington is a place that values education, and I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to the future of our community. We need to support our schools, expand technical and career pathways, and make sure young people have opportunities right here at home. Education should open doors—not create barriers.
Workforce & Local Jobs
As a former small business owner and someone who’s worked across this community for decades, I understand how important it is to have a strong local workforce. We need to make it easier for people to work if they want to—whether that means better access to childcare, job training, or reliable infrastructure. Strong communities depend on strong local jobs, and we need to support both workers and the businesses that employ them.
Health Care Access
After years in the insurance industry and serving on health-related legislative committees, I’ve seen how complicated and frustrating healthcare can be. People shouldn’t have to travel long distances or wait months just to get basic care. We need to make sure rural communities like ours have reliable access to doctors, mental health services, and affordable coverage.
Food Security & Family Stability
Living on a farm, raising animals, growing food, and working with local agriculture has given me a deep appreciation for what it takes to put food on the table. In a community surrounded by farms, no family should be struggling with hunger. We need to support local agriculture, strengthen our food systems, and make sure families have access to the basics they need.
Supporting Seniors
I’ve spent years working with families through my insurance career and in public service, and I’ve seen how hard it can be for seniors living on fixed incomes. These are the people who built our communities. They deserve stability—whether that’s help with property taxes, affordable prescriptions, or the ability to stay in their homes.
