Right-Wing Student Group Targets Wisconsin Supreme Court Race
Turning Point Action (TPA), which campaigned for Donald Trump in Wisconsin in 2024, is deploying its get-out-the-vote machinery to back Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election on April 1, 2025.
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is a 501(c)(3) that was launched in 2012 by college drop-out Charlie Kirk to draw young people to the Republican political agenda. It pushes its far-right messaging on social media, on high school and college campuses, and in select churches. Since 2016, Turning Point’s Kirk has built close ties to Trump and his family. According to the Guardian, “TPUSA and Kirk have capitalized on their MAGA ties to expand way beyond their campus roots,” including to political campaigning. TPUSA’s 501(c)(4) arm, TPA, helped Trump win Wisconsin in 2024 by “ballot chasing.” Now, it is producing postcards, distributing literature, and canvassing to aid Schimel in the state’s Supreme Court election. Kirk has also reportedly been screening prospective hires for the new Trump administration, including for top positions at the Pentagon, using “loyalty tests.” TPUSA is an advisory member of Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s extreme policy blueprint, much of which Trump is implementing.
