The current position for this State corresponds to Debbie Lesko, member of the United States House of Representatives since 2018. Lesko already announced that he would not run for re-election when his term ends in January 2025, so Chansley has presented his intention to be nominated to be his successor.

Also known as the 'bison-shaman', his face was widely known around the world for the assault on the Capitol. Chansley pleaded guilty to civil disorder and violent entry into the premises, for which he was sentenced to 41 months in prison that was reduced for mental problems.
