Turning Point USA Claims 200% Chapter Growth 1 Year After Charlie Kirk Assassination

Summary
Nearly one year after Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University, spokesman Andrew Kolvet said Turning Point USA has endured its hardest year while continuing to expand.
Almost 200% growth in Club American high-school chapters drove that message, with more than 3,500 chapters nationwide and over 1,500 Turning Point college chapters, above what Kolvet said Kirk once saw as a likely ceiling.
Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk's widow, was credited with holding the organization together after taking over as CEO under a succession plan Kolvet said Kirk had discussed before his death.
Church partnerships also rose sharply to 12,000 from 4,000, while Kolvet said student stories and continued activism showed Kirk's influence still mobilizing supporters a year later.
