Turning Point USA
By Alberto Muro
Two representatives from Turning Point USA set up their booth outside the Taft College library and asked students if they think “big government sucks.”
Founded in June 2012 by Charlie Kirk, the goal of Turning Point USA is to “educate students about the benefits of limiting the size of government and promote a free market.”
Part of a student movement, Turning Point USA is an opportunity for young conservatives to come together and share ideas.
Turning Point USA chapters began opening throughout campuses including a recent one established here at Taft College with Raegen Sorensena appointed as the group’s president.
With the 2016 election approaching, Turning Point USA is one of many student based political organizations aimed at enlightening students in search of a political affiliation.
