Mon Sep 23 17:44:46 UTC 2024: ## Pop Star Chappell Roan Declines to Endorse Harris-Walz Campaign, Calls for Critical Thinking and Local Voting

**Toronto, Canada (Exclaim!)** – Despite her music and aesthetic heavily influencing Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s campaign branding, pop sensation Chappell Roan has declared she won’t be endorsing any candidate.

Speaking to The Guardian, Roan, who previously declined a White House invitation for Pride, explained her reluctance to support either side. “I have so many issues with our government in every way,” Roan stated. “There are so many things I would want to change. So I don’t feel pressured to endorse someone. There’s problems on both sides.”

Instead, Roan urges fans to engage in critical thinking and utilize their votes on a local level. “Vote small, vote for what’s going on in your city,” she advised.

While remaining politically independent, Roan emphasized her commitment to fighting for transgender rights, stating, “They cannot have cis people making decisions for trans people, period.”

Roan’s stance echoes her previous comments in Rolling Stone, where she expressed frustration with the current political climate and criticized both sides. However, she also recognized the historical significance of a woman of color running for president, acknowledging the importance of voting to protect civil rights.

With a burgeoning career and a strong voice on social issues, Roan’s political neutrality and call for grassroots action offer a unique perspective on the upcoming election.
