The group, whose founder Charlie Kirk has close ties to President Donald Trump and has promoted conservative principles and Christian nationalism, has been active in the state for at least two years. [emphasis added]

Its employees hold top leadership positions in several county parties, including in Milwaukee, Dane and Brown counties. Last year, Turning Point backed Waukesha County GOP Chair Terry Dittrich in his successful bid to become one of Wisconsin's members of the Republican National Committee. 

But Turning Point assumed a larger presence in the state ahead of the November election, when it made Wisconsin a focal point for its "chase the vote” initiative to support the Trump campaign.
