[5] In 2002, he unsuccessfully ran for Congress as a Libertarian Party candidate against Republican incumbent George Nethercutt; in the 2002 blanket primary, he won 5% of the vote.

[6] In 2020, he announced that he would challenge incumbent Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers in the Republican primary for Washington's 5th congressional district.

[15] In 2019, Chase shared a link on Facebook to a report baselessly claiming that the September 11 attacks were an inside job involving "the Zionists" and others, and that the "Boston Bombing, Sandy Hook, Orlando, San Bernardino, and Las Vegas" attacks were all "false flag" hoaxes.

[15] After taking office in 2021, Chase hired Cecily Wright, the former chair of the Spokane County Republican Party and a longtime associate, as his legislative assistant.

"[16] Chase has pushed Donald Trump's false claim that the 2020 presidential election was marred by fraud.

[17] Although no evidence supports this claim, in August 2021, Chase and four other state Republican lawmakers (Robert Sutherland, Jim Walsh, Vicki Kraft, and Bob McCaslin Jr.) held an unofficial hearing at a Snohomish, Washington church calling for "forensic audit" to take place in Washington State similar to the criticized Arizona audit.
