We are thrilled to announce that Chase Oliver has officially been selected as the Libertarian Party’s candidate for President of the United States, with Mike ter Maat as his running mate for Vice President. This dynamic duo is ready to lead our nation towards a future grounded in liberty, individual rights, and true justice.
Chase Oliver, a 37-year-old Libertarian activist living in Atlanta, has been dubbed “…the most influential Libertarian in America…” by Rolling Stone. He is a champion of the rights of the individual against the growing power of the state. His journey began with his political activism opposing the War in Iraq under George Bush, and in 2010, he aligned with the Libertarian Party after an encounter at the Atlanta Pride Festival. Since then, he has run for Congress in Georgia’s 5th district in 2020 and for US Senate in 2022, advocating for critical issues such as Ranked Choice Voting.
