'QAnon Shaman' Jacob Chansley Eyes Congressional Run in Arizona as Libertarian
Jacob Chansley, also known as the "QAnon Shaman," has filed paperwork indicating his interest in running for Congress in Arizona's 8th district as a libertarian in 2024. Chansley gained notoriety for his appearance during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, and was sentenced to 41 months in prison for obstructing an official proceeding. While felons are not barred from running for Congress, Arizona law prevents them from voting until their sentence is completed and their rights are restored.
