Young Charlie Kirk with sister, Mary (Facebook/Vince Vance)

Charlie Kirk, the slain founder of Turning Point USA and prominent conservative activist, has a younger sister, Mary Kirk, who has largely remained out of the public eye. According to the Daily Mail, Mary Kirk, 29, lives in Chicago and holds sharply different political views from her late brother. While Charlie Kirk gained national attention for his conservative activism and founding of the right-wing group, Mary has become known for her progressive stances, especially her support for Senator Bernie Sanders.Bernie Sanders is a longtime United States Senator from Vermont, known for his progressive political stance and advocacy for social and economic justice. He is widely recognized for championing issues such as income equality, universal healthcare, climate change action, and workers’ rights. Sanders gained national prominence with his presidential campaigns in 2016 and 2020, where he energized a large base with his calls for democratic socialism and sweeping reforms.Mary Kirk reportedly grew up in the same politically moderate suburban Chicago household as Charlie, daughter to Robert Kirk, an architect, and Kathryn Kirk, a mental health counselor. Early in her youth, she shared some of her brother’s Republican enthusiasm, even participating in the Wheeling Young Republicans organization in 2011. However, around 2015, Mary’s political beliefs shifted significantly leftward. She became an avid supporter of Bernie Sanders, often posting about the senator on social media and promoting progressive causes such as slavery education through the Whitney Plantation museum and protecting funding for cultural institutions.Mary Kirk – Charlie Kirk’s younger sisterProfessionally, Mary is an art history graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago and works as a gallery assistant while running her own art consulting business called Kirk Art Services.
