COFFEEN — An event officially announcing Chase Wilhelm’s candidacy for State Representative 95th District is planned later this week.

“Taking the first step, among many, in filing petitions is not just an exciting one, but a humbling endeavor in our democracy that could not have happened without the support of the people I hope to serve. Every step forward in this campaign is done by, with, and in the shared commitment to better the future of the 95th,” Wilhelm said.
