UT’s chapter of Turning Point USA is hosting U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn Tuesday, May 5, to speak to students about current events.
Riley Gaines, conservative activist and former NCAA swimmer, and Josh Thifault, senior director of major gifts for Turning Point USA, are also speaking at the event.
“This is a unique opportunity to hear from influential voices across government, athletics and media, and to engage in an evening of discussion you won’t want to miss,” Hayden Swanner, East Tennessee Turning Point college field representative and UT alum, said.
Turning Point Action, an arm of Turning Point that targets voter mobilization, endorsed Blackburn’s run for governor of Tennessee.
“Our campaign is about making Tennessee America’s conservative leader for this generation and the next,” Blackburn said in a campaign Instagram post. “I’m committed to carrying forward (Charlie Kirk’s) legacy and fighting every day for the conservative values that built this movement.”
