for Maine House of Representatives, District 145 — ME, Maine House of Representatives, District 145 — covering Wells and portions of southern York County
Caleb Chase is running for Maine House District 145 to deliver real property tax relief, protect small businesses, and bring common-sense conservative leadership to Augusta.
Caleb Chase is a Wells resident who knows firsthand what it means to build a life on Maine's southern coast. Rooted in the values of hard work, personal responsibility, and community, Caleb has watched his hometown grow and change — and he's running for the Maine House to make sure that growth works for the people who already call Wells home, not just the interests in Augusta. He understands the pressures facing working families, small business owners, and longtime residents who are being squeezed by rising costs, overreaching regulations, and a state government that too often ignores the communities it's supposed to serve. Caleb is stepping up to fill the seat being vacated by the retiring incumbent, bringing fresh energy and a grounded perspective to District 145. He believes in limited government, fiscal responsibility, and protecting the Maine way of life that makes this corner of York County worth fighting for. Whether it's keeping property taxes manageable for families on fixed incomes, defending the rights of small business owners, or pushing back on unfunded mandates from Augusta, Caleb is ready to be the accountable, accessible representative that Wells deserves. Caleb's campaign is built on listening — to neighbors at the general store, at community events, and at kitchen tables across the district. He's not a career politician; he's a neighbor who believes that good governance starts with showing up, telling the truth, and putting the district's interests first. When elected, he'll bring that same straightforward approach to the Maine House.
Maine families — especially seniors and working households in Wells — are being priced out of their own homes by skyrocketing property taxes. Caleb will fight to expand homestead exemptions and pursue structural reforms that keep housing affordable for those who built this community.
Maine's regulatory environment is crushing small businesses that are the backbone of the Wells economy — from hospitality and tourism to trades and retail. Caleb will work to reduce red tape, lower the burden on entrepreneurs, and create conditions where local businesses can thrive.
The culture, character, and economy of Wells and coastal York County are worth protecting. Caleb will stand against policies that undermine fishing rights, recreational access, and the independent spirit that defines this part of Maine.
