Two weekends ago, the energy inside the Phoenix Convention Center was electrifying. I had the privilege of joining fellow Idahoans at Turning Point’s 2024 AmericaFest (AmFest), an incredible event that united over 20,000 patriots. Once again, it proved why it stands as the largest conservative movement in America. For young adults eager to engage in shaping the political landscape, this event was nothing short of impactful. The leadership of Charlie Kirk and Turning Point has ignited a fire across college campuses, and the evidence was clear in the young adult-driven momentum of the 2024 election.

The powerhouse lineup of speakers at AmFest exemplified strength and vision for the America First agenda. Tucker Carlson captivated the audience with his unapologetic candor. Charlie Kirk, the force behind Turning Point, inspired countless young people to step up and defend conservative values. President Donald J. Trump brought the crowd to its feet with his unwavering commitment to Making America Great Again. A couple more of my favorites in attendance included Kari Lake, nominated to lead Voice of America, and Harmeet Dhillon, chosen for Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights — two bold figures ready to fight for America in new roles.
