The board of Turning Point USA has named Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erika, as his successor as CEO after he was assassinated on Sept. 10.
Erika Kirk was unanimously elected as chair of the board and CEO of the conservative youth outreach organization.
“In prior discussions, Charlie expressed to multiple executives that this is what he wanted in the event of his death,” TPUSA said on the social media platform X.
“It was the honor of our lives to serve as board members at Charlie’s side,” the statement said. “Charlie prepared all of us for a moment like this one. He worked tirelessly to ensure Turning Point USA was built to survive even the greatest tests. And now, it’s our great pride to announce Erika Kirk as the new CEO and Chair of the Board for Turning Point USA.”
Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged with aggravated murder in the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk, the father of two young children, at a Turning Point event on Utah Valley University’s campus on Sept. 10.
