Turning Point Action hits the ground in New Hampshire for a key Senate race

Turning Point Action, the political arm of the youth conservative group Charlie Kirk founded, is putting major resources into New Hampshire's Senate contest, a year after his assassination. Social media posts from its activists and comments from local observers suggest the state has become central to the organization's midterm effort, even though it is not typically friendly terrain for Republicans in federal races, according to CNN.

The group's chief operating officer, Tyler Bowyer, told CNN in July that it was fielding the largest Republican ground operation the state has seen, with dozens of full-time staffers. Its website lists New Hampshire in a ballot-chasing program that includes in-person voter outreach and events aimed at people who rarely vote. Field representatives have held absentee-ballot trainings and distributed signs for Republican nominee John E. Sununu, a moderate former senator facing Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas. Republicans want to flip the seat while protecting their 53-47 Senate majority. Turning Point staffers and Sununu's campaign declined to comment to CNN.

Former state GOP chair Chris Ager praised the hiring of local activists. Strategist Michael Biundo said personal door-knocking could help Sununu in a tight contest.
