The late activist played a key role in organizing young Republican voters through Turning Point, which organized students on high school and college campuses across the country. Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, has been named the next CEO of Turning Point, which has seen a flood of donations and chapter requests following Kirk’s assassination. There were about 1,200 high school chapters and 900 college branches before the assassination, reported The Guardian. "We're saying, ‘look we need to have a Turning Point chapter in every school in Oklahoma.’ We want to be the first state to do that,” he said. Erika Kirk has announced her intention to lead Turning Point and further her late husband’s mission.
