Chase first entered politics as a member of the Cincinnati city council, a position he won election to in 1840. He also served as a member of the U.S. Senate from 1849 to 1855. Chase next secured the Republican gubernatorial nomination, and was elected governor by a popular vote in the 1855 general election. He was reelected to a second term in 1857.
