Supporters cheer as Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump speaks at Turning Point USA Action's"The People's Convention" in Detroit, Michigan, on June 14, 2024., is running in the hopes of flipping a seat in the state’s narrowly divided legislature. If successful, her run could help break the Democratic trifecta in the state, where Democrats currently enjoy a 56-54 seat majority in the House.
A senior director of Turning Point Action, Austin Smith, had successfully won election to Arizona’s state House, but resigned from the organization and ended his re-election campaign after he wasof forging signatures on his nominating petition. The chief financial officer of Turning Point USA, Justin Olson, is also running for election in Arizona’s 10th state House District this year.
Democratic Michigan state Sen. Darrin Camilleri, who represents a district that overlaps with the suburban Detroit district where Linting is running, said in an interview that the strong focus on cultural conservatism demonstrates that Linting is a “really strange” decision in a race to represent a downriver community.
“They are finding candidates that have zero qualifications but are willing to parrot right-wing talking points and are using them to infiltrate state capitols,” Camilleri said. “We’ve got to do all that we can to stop them because if they find success here in Michigan they’re going to take it all over the nation.”
