In Honor of Charlie Kirk
May his spirit animate us toward a better world
At our regular meeting last night, the District 14 Republican Central Committee unanimously approved a motion to honor the work and memory of Charlie Kirk, slain last September in an act of moral depravity.
Charlie Kirk loved God, loved America, and he loved Idaho. While many national political figures seem unaware of Idaho entirely, or come out only for the occasional Lincoln Day keynote, Charlie was an Idaho regular. Many of you were able to hear him speak not only at Boise State University, but at numerous small events throughout our great state.
Hours after he was killed, thousands of Idahoans gathered throughout the Gem State for candlelight vigils to mourn Charlie, and to honor him. He left his mark on the people of Idaho.
Charlie was a singular figure in American discourse. Not only did he spend his time traveling to college campuses, sharing political truth and Christian faith, but he invited opponents to debate him face to face. He was not afraid of disagreement.
Charlie Kirk was also a master organizer. He knew that winning political victories required getting people the polls. When President Trump needed to win swing states like Arizona in 2024, Charlie had it covered.
The District 14 GOP honors the memory of Charlie Kirk—a husband, a father, a son, and a great American patriot. We also honor his work, and pledge to carry on the movement that he began. Charlie showed the young people of America that socialism and nihilism were not the answers. May a hundred million Charlie Kirks rise in his place to carry the torch for freedom.
