Vance, Doug Mastriano, Mark Ronchetti, and Yvette Herrell.

"We believe Kari Lake will be the Ron DeSantis of the West, and Blake and JD will help break apart the uni-party consensus in Washington, D.C. to stop the endless wars, the runaway spending and put an end to the cocktail party Republicans who seem to be good at one thing only, betraying their voters. Doug Mastriano has become a true champion of the grassroots in Pennsylvania, and Rep. Yvette Herrell is poised to hold her critical seat in New Mexico’s 2nd. Gov. DeSantis has the unique ability to unite conservatives around these candidates, and Turning Point Action is honored to host and organize these rallies on their behalf.”
