OLIVER: NEW GENERATION READY FOR PRESIDENCY



ATLANTA - Chase Oliver marks his August 16 birthday by looking forward to what he can do next instead of reminiscing about a political career that overstayed its welcome.

“Today I turn 38. I’m exactly half the age of Donald Trump and less than half of Joe Biden’s age,” says Oliver, Rolling Stone’s “Most Influential Libertarian” and Libertarian presidential hopeful.
“It’s time that we look to Millennials to lead us into the 21st century, not 20th century politicians.”

Oliver leaves for Iowa Thursday, where he becomes the first non-Republican or non-Democrat presidential candidate to speak at Iowa’s Soapbox. He qualified for the honor after meeting voters while campaigning at the Harrison County Fair on July 22.

POLITICAL SOAPBOX APPEARANCE

Sponsor: Des Moines Register

Iowa State Fairgrounds, 3000 E Grand Ave, Des Moines, IA 50317

Saturday, Aug. 19 at 2:15 p.m.


Oliver became Georgia’s first openly gay Senate candidate in 2022. His national attention grew following his debate with incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock and an empty podium set aside for opponent Herschel Walker. Oliver garnered over 80,000 votes and forced a runoff between the Republican and Democratic candidates.


Broadcast coverage includes PBS, CNN, Fox Business, and CSPAN. Print coverage includes The New York Times, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, and Rolling Stone, which labels him the “Most Influential Libertarian.”


Oliver is available for media interviews, university journalism, and communications students.
