Erika Kirk is an American businesswoman and nonprofit executive who currently serves as CEO and board chair of Turning Point USA (TPUSA). She assumed leadership of the conservative organization following the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk, who co-founded TPUSA and led it until his death in September 2025. Her background includes roles as a business leader and podcaster.

Kirk's position makes her notable as the head of a major conservative youth organization during a period of significant political influence. Her leadership transition following a high-profile tragedy placed her at the center of American conservative politics, where she oversees the organization's strategic direction and political activism.

Recently, Kirk has been in the news regarding TPUSA's potential political endorsements, including reported preparations to support J.D. Vance in the 2028 election cycle. Media coverage has also included personal attacks from critics, international threats allegedly from Ukrainian militants, and personal revelations about her late husband during television interviews. These developments have maintained her visibility in both political and media circles.
