Chase Russell Oliver (born August 16, 1985) is an American political activist, sales account executive, and HR representative.[1] Oliver was the Libertarian nominee for the 2022 United States Senate election in Georgia and the 2020 Georgia's 5th congressional district special election. He is a candidate for the Libertarian presidential nomination in the 2024 United States presidential election.[2]

In the 2022 Georgia special United States Senate election, Oliver received over 2% of the popular vote, possibly acting as a spoiler candidate and forcing the Georgia senate race into a run-off.[3][4][5][6]

Oliver is openly gay and resides in the suburbs of Atlanta.[7]
