Oliver was born on August 16, 1985, in Nashville, Tennessee.[8] He worked in the restaurant business for 13 years prior to his involvement in political activism.[9]
Activism
On May 15, 2023, Oliver spoke at the Atlanta City Council meeting to oppose Cop City. During his speech, Oliver highlighted the growing distrust between people and governments and their police forces. Oliver spoke out against the over-militarization of police and qualified immunity. He also advocated for the Atlanta City Council to improve existing training facilities instead of clear-cutting forests that had previously been designated by the City Council as public open space.[10][11][12]
On September 5, 2023, Oliver spoke at the Columbia, South Carolina City Council meeting in opposition to regulatory hurdles that prevent people from feeding the homeless. He advocated for the Columbia City Council, and other city councils across the country, to address regulatory barriers to feeding and supporting homeless Americans.[13][14]
On October 16, 2022, Oliver attended a debate hosted by Georgia Public Broadcasting and debated against Warnock, as well as an empty podium representing Walker, who had declined to attend the debate.[20]
On election day, Oliver received over 2% of the popular vote. Opponents contended that he was a spoiler candidate and that his votes forced the Georgia senate race into a run-off.[7] In the runoff election, he declined to endorse either Warnock or Walker, while offering to host an internet forum between the two candidates.[21]Rolling Stone called him the most influential Libertarian of the year.[15]
Oliver filed to run in Oklahoma's "first Libertarian presidential primary election since the party was formally recognized in 2016". Alongside fellow Libertarian primary candidate Jacob Hornberger, Oliver achieved ballot access by collecting signatures from voters in each Congressional district.[29][30] He won the Oklahoma primary, which was held on Super Tuesday, on March 5, 2024, with 61% of the vote.[31]
Oliver won the Libertarian nomination on the seventh ballot at the National Convention,[3] defeating Michael Rectenwald.[38] Oliver designated Mike ter Maat as his preferred choice of running mate.[39]

Political positions
Oliver is considered part of the traditional wing of the Libertarian Party, and is a member of the more left-leaning Classical Liberal Caucus.[2][3][42][43]
Abortion
Oliver is pro-choice, although he is opposed to taxpayer funding of abortions and supports the Hyde Amendment.[44] He believes that abortion should be legal nationwide, and he has said he would support legislation to make it so.[45]
Clemency for Ross Ulbricht
Ulbricht's conviction became a cause célèbre in American libertarian circles.[46] In the November 2024 issue of Reason magazine Chase Oliver said in an interview, "I would like to see [Trump], if he were elected, commuteRoss Ulbricht's sentence. Frankly, if I were president, I would give him a full pardon."[47]
Climate change
Oliver supports letting the free market find the solution to climate change. He contends that if businesses are left alone, they will be incentivized to develop technologies that will eventually replace current carbon-based fuels.[48]
Oliver is a strong supporter of ranked-choice voting in the United States, which he has said would have prevented the 2022 U.S. Senate election in Georgia from going to a run-off by allowing voters to rank their preferred candidates when they voted the first time. He has also stated that ranked-choice voting would save millions of taxpayer dollars by allowing run-offs to be instant, while ensuring that winning candidates always get above 50% of the vote.[21]
Foreign affairs
Oliver opposes American military aid to Israel and Ukraine. He has labeled the Israeli offensive in Gaza as a genocide. Oliver also supports the closure of American overseas military bases.[12][50] John Stossel called Oliver, "...the most anti-war candidate" in the 2024 presidential election.[41]
Gun rights
During a 2022 debate with Warnock, Oliver expressed his support for gun rights, stating: "Armed gays are harder to oppress, and they're harder to bash."[48] Oliver opposes bans on bump stocks.[49] John Stossel has further affirmed that, "Oliver supports gun rights."[40]
Healthcare
Oliver has said the Affordable Care Act did not lower the rise in health insurance costs "and never will".[51][self-published source] He wants to phase out Medicare for younger Americans.[52]
Homelessness
Oliver supports removing regulatory barriers that prevent people and organizations from feeding homeless people.[14]
Oliver opposes the government interfering with certain transgender health care decisions made by a parent, child and doctor.[54] However, he has expressed opposition to gender-affirming surgery for those under the age of 18.[55]
He opposes laws targeting drag shows, calling drag an "art form" that "can range from completely family friendly to something quite explicit — just like cinema, music, visual arts" and making the argument that if a parent can take their child to see The Passion of the Christ, they can take their children to see drag if they choose to. He believes that existing obscenity laws, along with parental supervision, are sufficient to protect children from objectionable content. He also opposes state mandates related to the participation of transgender girls in women's sports, believing that such decisions should be made by individual sports leagues and not the government.[56]
Oliver has called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme".[57] He wants to phase out Social Security for younger Americans.[52]
Third parties
Oliver was a contributing author in the September 23, 2023, article "Do Third Parties Help or Harm Democracy?", published by the nonprofit news organization Divided We Fall. In the article, Oliver discussed the strategic position the Libertarian Party holds for the 2024 election season, third-party ballot access, and how the Libertarian Party platform parallels important issues of other third-party platforms, namely the Green Party of the United States and Forward Party, such as ranked choice voting, immigration, cannabis legalization, and LGBTQ+ rights.[58]
