In 1986, he was the Libertarian Party of Indiana candidate for Indiana's 4th Congressional District U.S. Representative receiving 602 votes for 0.4% of the vote.[1] When activist Steve Kubby was arrested for cannabis offenses, Dasbach advocated dropping the charges.[2] Dasbach advocates for a repeal of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996; and to reduce the size and power of the federal government.[3]
Dasbach served as Jo Jorgensen's campaign manager for her campaign in the 2020 presidential election.[4]
