Charlie Roan is the senator who lost her family on a Purge night and spent her life fighting the law. She appears as a candidate in Election Year and as a former president in the backstory of The Forever Purge. Elizabeth Mitchell plays her.
In 2022, young Charlie watches her family killed on a Purge night. In 2040, as a senator, she runs for president promising to end it. The NFFA revokes immunity for government officials, and she refuses to leave the city.
When Dante's group captures Owens, the rival candidate, Roan persuades them not to kill him. She wins the election two months later.
In 2048, eight years after Roan's election, the NFFA returns to power and reinstates the Purge. The former president stands as the marker of the years without the law.
Wikipedia records that the film's tagline, "Keep America Great", made news in 2017 for matching a real US political slogan.
