Chase Oliver      

Libertarian Politician & Activist

Chase Oliver is a Libertarian activist living in Atlanta. Dubbed “…the most influential Libertarian in America…” by Rolling Stone, Oliver is a champion of the rights of the individual against the growing power of the state.

Oliver began his political activism opposing the War in Iraq under then-President George W. Bush, and he discovered the Libertarian Party when he stopped by a booth at the Atlanta Pride Festival in 2010.

In 2020, he ran for Congress in Georgia’s 5th district to complete the term of the late civil rights icon John Lewis. In 2022, he ran for U.S. Senate, debating incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker’s empty podium. Oliver was widely credited with causing the runoff election between Warnock and Walker.

Riding the success of his senate campaign, Oliver announced his intent to run for the Libertarian Presidential nomination. Since then, he has participated in the Free and Equal Debate which included candidates outside of the Republicans and Democrats, topped the vote in four Libertarian primaries, including Oklahoma’s very first Libertarian primary, won the Presidential Straw Poll with about 43 percent of the vote at the Libertarian Party of Iowa’s first Caucus and became the first third-party presidential candidate invited to speak at the Iowa Political Soapbox at the State Fair.

Chase Oliver has appeared on PBS, CNN, Fox Business, CSPAN, WSB TV and Radio, Fox News, 11 Alive News, Forbes, USA Today, Vice Media, Reason TV, and more. He has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Guardian, and Rolling Stone.
