Erika Kirk

Erika Kirk is a nonprofit leader and media host who now serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Chair of Turning Point USA. Erika was blessed to play a supporting role in her husband’s mission as the founder and leader of TPUSA. But after Charlie’s assassination, Erika stepped forward to fill his position as CEO of TPUSA. Under her leadership, it remains both the largest and fastest-growing conservative youth activist organization in America, with a presence on more than 4,200 high school and college campuses nationwide, over 800,000 lifetime student members, and 1,000 full and part-time staff across the country. Erika earned a Juris Master in American Legal Studies from Liberty University as well as a degree in Political Science and International Relations from Arizona State University.

As a widow to her beloved husband and as a mother to their two children, Erika is committed to Biblical leadership and inspiring others to live with purpose, driven by the love of Christ in every aspect of life.

In addition to her new role leading TPUSA, Erika is deeply passionate about her BIBLEin365 ministry, which aims to encourage individuals to connect with Scripture daily and to read the entire Bible in one year. Erika’s entrepreneurial spirit also led her to create PROCLAIM, a Christian clothing and lifestyle line, designed with purpose and made in the USA. The brand serves as an extension of Erika’s mission to inspire others to boldly live out their faith.
