Kari Lake and congressional candidate Kelly Cooper spoke at a Turning Point USA rally with JD Vance and Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk at Generation Church in east Mesa on Wednesday. The theme throughout the evening was ballot chasing—knocking on doors and urging large numbers of low-propensity voters to cast ballots.
Senior Pastor Ryan Visconti said the church was so full there was an overflow room, estimating almost 2,000 in attendance.
Visconti said he received pushback about hosting the political event, with others questioning his judgment. He responded to the critics and said it was too imperative to stand up for what’s right.
“I think we have a choice,” Visconti said. “We can continue on the path that we have been on, or as a nation, we can return to as the Lord says, ‘Choose this day whom you will serve,’ and that’s the choice we have. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. … We need God front and center in everything that we do. … And if you think about all the lies that we’re constantly being told, and the censorship, the manipulation, and the deception that exists, and you think, I’m tired of being lied to, you’re probably feeling something that I felt, and I think most of us have felt. And the truth is, you need Jesus, who is the truth.”
