Chandler Crump is a 20-year-old Gen Z commentator, artist, and activist whose political journey began at age 14 when he attended Turning Point USA’s Young Black Leadership Summit. At that event, TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk told him that he was his “No. 1 fan,” and that it didn’t matter how young he was, that he could still stand and fight for his beliefs. That moment of encouragement inspired Chandler to immerse himself in the conservative movement, and he has since many more TPUSA events. Today, he credits TPUSA with shaping both his worldview and his commitment to advancing the conservative principles of individual liberty, free markets, and open dialogue.
