After the assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, Turning Point USA’s board unanimously elected Erika Kirk as the organization’s new CEO and Chair of the Board. The board noted that Charlie Kirk had previously indicated to senior executives that he wanted her to take the helm in the event of his death. Since stepping into the role, she has committed to organizational continuity—sustaining core TPUSA initiatives such as campus debate tours, flagship events including AmericaFest, and associated media programming, while infusing a heavy emphasis on faith, institutional resilience, and student outreach.
