The far-right Turning Point USA boosted the turnout in a controversial Arizona utility board race by investing heavily in the Salt River Project board race. The group, founded by the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk, endorsed candidates that would back fossil fuels and oppose renewable mandates. However, these votes resulted in a victory for clean energy advocates, who gained an 8-6 majority with support from the Jane Fonda Climate PAC. Turning Point saw the election as a way to reach new voters in traditionally Democratic territory and contrast with left-wing energy policy. The Salt River project, which serves over 2 million people and provides water and electricity for the Phoenix area, faces a power crunch and will need to double its generation capacity over the next decade to meet population and data center boom.
