"This was what Charlie hoped for and wanted and he said so numerous times,"
"Erika is one with Charlie and Charlie is one with Erika."
"If you thought my husband's mission was powerful before, you have no idea. You have no idea what you just have unleashed across this entire country, and this world. You have no idea the fire you've ignited within this wife. The cries of this widow will echo around the world like a battle cry."
"from high school and college students nationwide to start a chapter or get involved with an existing chapter,"
Erika Kirk, 36, was unanimously elected CEO and board chair of Turning Point USA by its board, fulfilling Charlie Kirk's stated wish. Charlie Kirk had told multiple executives that he wanted Erika to lead the organization in the event of his death, and COO Tyler Bowyer affirmed their unity. Two days after Charlie Kirk was fatally shot during a Utah university event, Erika pledged to continue the group's campus tour, annual AmericaFest conference, and the radio show and podcast. She is slated to speak with President Trump and Vice President Vance at Charlie Kirk's memorial. Turning Point USA advocates conservative activism on 3,500 campuses and reports receiving more than 62,000 requests from students to start or join chapters, a surge the organization hopes Erika's leadership will sustain.
