Turning Point USA hires McHenry field director to manage grassroots operations

McHenry, IL - Turning Point USA, a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to educating students about limited government and fiscal responsibility, has hired a McHenry County field director to oversee grassroots operations on high school and colleges campuses in the area.

The organization calls itself "the community organizers of the right" and strives to identify, organize, and empower young people across the country.

Kara Hamilton, a DePaul University student and former Bruce Rauner campaign staffer, was hired by Turning Point USA to organize grassroots operations on key campuses such as McHenry County College, Northern Illinois University, and several high schools including Woodstock High School, Crystal Lake High School, Huntley High School, and many more.

Turning Point USA currently has over 20 full-time field directors on staff and plans to hire dozens more heading into the fall of 2015. Field directors work to identify conservative activists, organize student groups and chapters, coordinate activism events, and help students get registered to vote. TPUSA is the biggest and most widespread conservative youth organization in America with a presence on over 800 college campuses across the nation.

Much of the funding needed for the McHenry Field Director position was raised at a recent Patriots United breakfast this past February. Patriots United generously hosted an event to help TPUSA raise the funds needed to expand in McHenry.
