With local elections coming up, Chance The Rapper continues to use his star power to contribute to the political process. On Tuesday (Oct. 16), Chance traveled to the Chicago’s City Hall to make a public endorsement of mayoral candidate Amara Enyia.
Chance had the internet goin nuts when he Tweeted on Monday (Oct. 15), “City Hall pull up.” Some thought Chance would announce he would be running for the local office, but instead, he backed Amara Enyia. “I’m proud to announce that I will not be running for mayor,” he told those in attendance before revealing his real reason for being there.
“I want to work with somebody that’s about change,” he added. “Somebody that’s about our community. Somebody that’s about equity. Somebody that’s about fairness. And the one person in my research of this wide-open race [whose] views align with me would obviously be candidate Amara Enyia.”
