2024 presidential election: 10 candidates running third-party campaigns
1. Chase Oliver
Chase Oliver, who unsuccessfully sought the U.S. Senate seat in Georgia in 2022 as a Libertarian, is one of several declared Libertarian candidates. His platform outlines his belief that “there can be good faith positions on both sides of the abortion debate.”
“I am supportive of leaving these decisions out of the hands of the government and letting this decision rest with individuals in consultation with their doctors,” he said. “I am pro-choice and will support efforts to protect bodily autonomy while also advocating for the Hyde Amendment which prevents federal dollars from funding abortions.”
On the issue of education, Oliver expressed support for “abolishing the Department of Education and block granting these funds back to the states to be returned to taxpayers.” Additional components of his platform call for abolishing qualified immunity for law enforcement, mandatory minimum sentences and the death penalty, as well as decriminalizing cannabis and issuing pardons for non-violent drug offenders.
