Erika Lane Kirk (née Frantzve, born November 20, 1988) is an American businesswoman, nonprofit executive, and former Miss Arizona USA (2012) who was appointed chairwoman and CEO of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) after her husband, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated in September 2025. Before that, she founded nonprofits like Everyday Heroes Like You and BIBLEin365, hosted the podcast Midweek Rise Up, and worked as a real estate agent, while also holding degrees from Arizona State University and Liberty University. She married Charlie in May 2021, and they had two children together. Following his death, she delivered a widely reported address pledging to continue his work, insisted on seeing his body ("With all due respect, I want to see what they did to my husband"), and publicly forgave the accused killer at a memorial service at State Farm Stadium attended by up to 100,000 people, including President Donald Trump. In March 2026, President Trump appointed her to the United States Air Force Academy Board of Visitors.
