Amanda Chase (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Amanda Chase (née Freeman; born December 1, 1969) is an American conservative politician. Since 2016, she has been a member of the Virginia Senate for the 11th District, representing Amelia County, the city of Colonial Heights, and part of Chesterfield County. In 2020, Chase ran an unsuccessful campaign for the Republican nomination for governor of Virginia in 2021. Chase attended Donald Trump's rally preceding the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol, where she appeared to voice support for rioters by calling them "patriots" and suggesting that Trump might still be sworn in as president, despite losing the election to Joe Biden. She also stated, "The insurrection is actually the deep state with the politicians working against the people to overthrow our government." The Virginia State Senate censured Chase on a 24–9 vote (with three Republicans joining the majority) for "conduct unbecoming a senator" and "fomenting insurrection against the United States," stripping Chase of her lone committee assignment. This was the first censure of a Virginia state senator since 1987. Despite saying she would "wear the censure as a badge of honor," Chase filed a federal lawsuit against the Virginia State Senate, which was subsequently dismissed. (en)
