Patriot,

When I heard of Charlie Kirk, he wasn’t famous. 

He wasn’t filling arenas. He wasn’t a household name. 

A few people told me, “You’ve gotta meet this guy — he’s doing something big out in Illinois.” 

So I went.  

Charlie was running Turning Point from a modest office in the Chicago suburbs — surviving on coffee and pure belief that America was still worth saving. 

Above: The original Turning Point HQ in Lemont, Illinois. This is where it all began — just Charlie, a vision, and a mission that changed everything.  

Back then, we were both organizing young conservatives, both dreaming about how to win back the culture. 

But when I first sat down with Charlie... I knew. 

Charlie was the visionary. He had the plan. And I HAD to be part of it. 

I jumped in and never looked back. From that moment on, I was there for all of it. 

The early conferences and campuses. The road trips. The rallies. The fights. 

In those days, our team didn’t have much. But what we had was conviction — and that was more than enough. 

Because we believed in something BIG. Something real. Something urgent. 

Faith, family, freedom — and the absolute grit to go build something that could save this country. 

And Charlie? He did it. 

He didn’t just build a brand... He built a machine. 

First, Charlie built a movement that changed the hearts and minds of an entire generation — a seismic shift that flipped the narrative that young people belonged to the Left. 

Then, he built Turning Point Action to become the grassroots force the Left never saw coming... and beat them at their own game.  

And, I hitched my wagon to it from the start. 

Charlie and I weren’t just friends...  

We were brothers in the fight. We did everything together.  

We strategized over midnight texts... battled together through COVID, the 2020 Election, and every crisis they threw at us...

We created AmericaFest from scratch... launched Turning Point Action to go on offense — in the very states the GOP had given up on. 

And we rallied a grassroots army that put President Donald J. Trump back in the White House in 2024.  

We didn’t just talk about chasing ballots... 

Turning Point Action built the first full-scale, professional ballot-chasing operation on the Right — and it delivered real results. 

10 for 10.  

In every single state we operated in... Trump won. 

In Arizona alone, we chased over 205,000 low-propensity conservative votes — well beyond the margin of victory.  

In Wisconsin? 60,000+. 

In Nevada? 6,000+ — and we won back a district we hadn’t carried in 20 years.   

In Michigan? 14,000+ votes helped us flip a U.S. House seat and take the state house majority.  

We didn’t just make noise... We made history.  

Above: Election Night 2024. Our biggest win yet. That’s me on the left — still fighting beside Charlie, just like we always did. 

Patriot, I watched Charlie pour everything into this mission.   

He lived on the road 300+ days a year.   

We never stopped. Because Charlie never stopped.    

He didn’t build all of this for clout or clicks... Instead, he did it for this country. For all of us. 

For every parent who feels like they’re losing their kid to the Left...  

For every student who’s afraid to speak up...  

For every American who still believes in this country...   

Charlie built this movement and this machine for them. For you.  

And now? After he gave everything for that mission? 

We have to carry the torch. We have to keep the machine running — and make it stronger than ever.

Everything we’ve felt since the day we lost Charlie — we must turn it into action. 

He used to ask me (and everyone else at Turning Point) all the time: “What are we building next?” 

Well, Patriot, here’s the answer: We’re building the next generation of grassroots power — one voter, one precinct, one act of courage at a time. 

But it doesn’t happen without you. 

So, here’s my ask... 

Go to church for Charlie.  

Start a family for Charlie.

Join a chapter or coalition for Charlie. 

Register to vote for Charlie.

Chase votes for Charlie.

Run for office for Charlie. 

Commit to WIN. Commit to FIGHT. Commit to FINISH what he started. 

That’s what Charlie would’ve wanted.

I’m not stopping until we save our country. I’m all in — and if you’re reading this, I’m betting that you are, too.  

If so, I’m honored to fight alongside you. And if you’ve already been with us for a while — thank you.  

Now, let’s get to work.   

For Charlie. 

God Bless,

P.S. I would give anything to have Charlie back. 

But he left us with something powerful — a machine that works... a machine that’s proven and battle-tested. 

Now it’s time to run it — and run it like never before.
