Chad Perkins

Chad Perkins is a Dover-Foxcroft native, U.S. Army veteran, and current Maine State Representative for House District 31 who has spent his career in public service — first in uniform and now in the State House. Rooted in the small towns and working landscapes of Piscataquis County, Chad understands the challenges facing rural Maine families because he lives them every day. He knows what it means to stretch a budget, navigate a broken bureaucracy, and fight for communities that too often feel forgotten by Augusta. As a sitting state legislator, Chad has built a track record of showing up, working across the aisle when it matters, and putting the practical needs of his constituents ahead of political theater. His military background instilled in him a discipline and mission-first mindset that he brings directly to his legislative work — getting things done rather than just talking about them. Now Chad is running for Maine Senate District 4 to carry that same work ethic and those same Maine values to a bigger stage. Chad is running because he believes rural Maine deserves a strong, experienced voice in the State Senate — someone who has already proven they can do the job. He is committed to protecting property rights, expanding economic opportunity in the North Woods region, keeping government out of the way of hardworking Mainers, and ensuring veterans and working families get the support they've earned. When you send Chad Perkins to the Senate, you're sending someone who has already served — and is ready to serve again.

  • Expand affordable broadband access to underserved homes and businesses in District 4
  • Protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Maine gun owners

Key Issues

Rural Economic Development

Piscataquis County has long been overlooked by Augusta when it comes to investment and economic opportunity. Chad believes the North Woods region's working forests, outdoor recreation economy, and small businesses deserve real support — not lip service.

Protecting Property Rights

Chad is a firm defender of the right of Mainers to own, use, and enjoy their land without government overreach. He opposes land use regulations and conservation mandates that strip rural landowners of their rights without fair compensation.

Veterans & Military Families

As a U.S. Army veteran himself, Chad Perkins is personally committed to making sure Maine honors its promises to those who served. Veterans in rural Maine face unique barriers to accessing benefits, healthcare, and mental health services.
