Caleb Chase

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.
