Imagine having the unique opportunity to sit down and engage in a conversation with one of the most influential figures in Libertarianism. Today, I am privileged to introduce Chase Oliver, a remarkable Libertarian candidate who gained substantial popularity following his compelling debate against incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, defying the odds and even forcing a runoff election between the Republican and Democratic candidates by amassing over 80,000 votes. With his sights set on freedom, Chase aspires to serve as the President of the United States this 2024 (when elected).
Despite the whirlwind of his campaign, Chase was awesomely happy to take the time to sit down with me, providing valuable insights into his views on critical issues such as the failed two-party system, education reform, and the dire need for justice reform. Our conversation concluded with some invaluable advice for aspiring activists with political aspirations who plan to run for office in the future.
Chase Oliver
Chase Oliver is a 37-year-old 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. He began his political activism opposing the War in Iraq
under George Bush, aligning with the Libertarian Party after an encounter 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 US Senate, debating
incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker’s empty podium. Oliver
was widely credited with causing the runoff election between Warnock and
Walker. He advocates the adoption of Ranked Choice Voting to avoid future
runoffs.
