Mayor Brian Vincent is seeking re-election as Mayor of Farmville in 2026, citing a continued commitment to responsible leadership, community investment, and long-term preparedness for the town’s future.

“I’m running again for a second term because the work isn’t finished,” Vincent said. “It’s been an absolute honor serving this amazing community, as we continue building resiliency amidst this rapidly changing world.”

“In my first term, we set a clear vision and this Council delivered results; opening the Splash Park, renovating playgrounds, modernizing our Rules of Procedure, adopting a new Town Charter, launching the Joint Crisis Communication Center, earning Farmville’s first-ever credit rating, continuing to expand the fire department, and welcoming new businesses to downtown,” Vincent said. “We’re building durable economic and institutional capacity so Farmville is ready for the future.”

Vincent emphasized that collaboration with Town Council, town staff, Prince Edward County, and community partners has been central to that progress.

“Local government isn’t about ideology, it’s about problem-solving,” Vincent said. “It’s about showing up, listening, and making decisions with today and the next generation in mind.”

In addition to his role as Mayor, Vincent serves in leadership positions with the Virginia Municipal League and the National League of Cities, advocating for small towns and university communities across the Commonwealth while bringing Farmville’s perspective to statewide and national discussions.

“My focus remains the same,” Vincent said. “Being accessible, acting in good faith, and ensuring Farmville remains a place where people want to live, work, raise families, and invest.”

As Farmville continues to grow and evolve, Vincent said his candidacy is about maintaining steady, calm leadership in these disruptive and contentious times.

“As a father, my first priority has always been to model a kind of leadership too often absent from politics, one grounded in decency, fortitude, and community, so the next generation has an example to emulate as we move forward together.”
