“I feel led to run, and I want to continue to serve the citizens of this great city,” Farmer said. “Together, we can address issues that are vital in seeing Mansfield thrive. I look forward to having open and honest conversations with the citizens of Mansfield to hear their concerns. I may not always have the answers, but I will work to find them. I promise you honesty and integrity. I look forward to earning your vote in the November 2026 general election.”
Farmer has dedicated his life to public service. In addition to his career in law enforcement, he has remained a certified EMT since 1991 and has answered thousands of first responder calls, serving citizens in their most critical moments. His decades of experience give him a deep understanding of public safety, emergency response, and the everyday needs of the Mansfield community.
Boyd and his wife, Cyndy, are longtime Mansfield residents and are proud to be deeply rooted in the community they call home. Together, they have three sons and three daughters-in-law, one daughter and one son-in-law, 11 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. Family is at the heart of who they are, and their commitment to Mansfield reflects the values they’ve passed down through generations.
Farmer says his campaign will focus on listening to citizens, strengthening public safety, and working together to ensure a strong future for Mansfield. He invites all residents to engage in dialogue as he begins his campaign, emphasizing that a thriving Mansfield starts with open communication, trust, and unity.
