Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk (née Frantzve), has been named the new CEO and chair of the board of Turning Point USA after her husband’s death.
“In Ecclesiastes, King Solomon wrote that mankind is to be tested by God. Today we are facing such a test, yet we also know that God has prepared us with everything we need to overcome this ordeal,” a statement from the organization’s board read on Thursday, September 18. “It was the honor of our lives to serve as board members at Charlie’s side. Charlie prepared us all for a moment like this one.”
The statement continued, “He worked tirelessly to ensure Turning Point USA was built to survive even the greatest test. And now, it is our great pride to announce Erika Kirk as the new CEO and Chair of the Board for Turning Point USA.”
