</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_political_career">Early political career</h2></div>

<p>Chafee became active in behind-the-scenes Rhode Island politics by helping elect a <a href="List_of_mayors_of_Providence%2C_Rhode_Island" title="List of mayors of Providence, Rhode Island">mayor</a> of <a href="Providence%2C_Rhode_Island" title="Providence, Rhode Island">Providence</a> in the early 1950s. He successfully ran for a seat in the <a href="Rhode_Island_House_of_Representatives" title="Rhode Island House of Representatives">Rhode Island House of Representatives</a> in 1956 and later became the minority leader. He was re-elected in 1958 and 1960, the latter a year when many <a href="Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republicans</a> were swept from office in his state.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Governor_of_Rhode_Island">Governor of Rhode Island</h2></div>

<p>Chafee was elected governor in <a href="1962_Rhode_Island_gubernatorial_election" title="1962 Rhode Island gubernatorial election">1962</a>, defeating Democratic incumbent <a href="John_A._Notte_Jr." title="John A. Notte Jr.">John A. Notte Jr.</a> The election was notable for being one of the narrowest in Rhode Island history, Chafee received 50.06% of the vote to Notte's 49.94%, winning by a margin of just 0.12%. However, Chafee quickly became popular with both Rhode Island's Republicans and Democrats, allowing him to win re-election by margins of almost 2-to-1 in 1964 and 1966. The 1964 victory made Chafee one of the few bright spots in a disastrous year for Republicans nationally; <a href="Lyndon_Johnson" class="mw-redirect" title="Lyndon Johnson">Lyndon Johnson</a> carried the state with an unheard-of 83 percent of the vote.

</p><p>As governor, Chafee helped create the state's public transportation administration as well as what was known as the Green Acres program, a conservation effort. In 1968, he served as chair of the <a href="Republican_Governors_Association" title="Republican Governors Association">Republican Governors Association</a>. He served as governor until 1969, when he was surprisingly defeated by underdog <a href="Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="Democratic Party (United States)">Democrat</a> <a href="Frank_Licht" title="Frank Licht">Frank Licht</a>. Reasons ascribed for the defeat include the fact that, after running three times on a strong anti-income tax platform, Chafee now said that such a tax was imperative (indeed his anti-tax opponent went on to champion one in 1971);<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and that he stopped campaigning after his daughter was killed.<sup id="cite_ref-wrmea_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wrmea-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Secretary_of_the_Navy">Secretary of the Navy</h2></div>

<p>He was appointed <a href="United_States_Secretary_of_the_Navy" title="United States Secretary of the Navy">Secretary of the Navy</a> in 1969 by <a href="President_of_the_United_States" title="President of the United States">President</a> <a href="Richard_Nixon" title="Richard Nixon">Richard Nixon</a>. Chafee's tenure as secretary was marked by a willingness to make bold decisions and stand by them. Emblematic of this was his decision to elevate Admiral <a href="Elmo_Zumwalt" title="Elmo Zumwalt">Elmo Zumwalt</a> as <a href="Chief_of_Naval_Operations" title="Chief of Naval Operations">Chief of Naval Operations</a> over 33 more senior officers, and his judicious handling of the <a href="USS_Pueblo_(AGER-2)" title="USS Pueblo (AGER-2)">USS <i>Pueblo</i></a> situation, in which <a href="North_Korea" title="North Korea">North Korean</a> forces, during the previous administration, had boarded and captured a navy intelligence ship. His action as Secretary of the Navy that is most clearly remembered is his disapproval of the recommendation to <a href="Court_martial" class="mw-redirect" title="Court martial">court martial</a> <a href="Commander_(rank)" class="mw-redirect" title="Commander (rank)">Commander</a> <a href="Lloyd_Bucher" class="mw-redirect" title="Lloyd Bucher">Lloyd Bucher</a>, the commanding officer of the <i>Pueblo</i>, once the release of the crew had been secured. Because it was clear that the guilt clearly rested on the North Koreans and not Bucher or the sailors on the <i>Pueblo</i>, Chafee stated that "Bucher and his men have suffered enough", and that a court martial would only add insult to injury. He served as Secretary of the Navy until 1972, when he resigned to run for the <a href="United_States_Navy" title="United States Navy">U.S. Senate</a>.

In 1993, he joined with Democratic Louisiana Senator <a href="John_Breaux" title="John Breaux">John Breaux</a> to form the Senate Mainstream Coalition, a coalition of six Democratic and six Republican senators seeking bipartisan consensus on health reform.
