Key Points:
- Turning Point USA targets low-key utility board election for 2026
- Group aims to prevent clean energy candidates from gaining more seats
- SRP’s election process is complicated, with only land-owning customers eligible

Now, however, Turning Point is pouring money and staffing into registering voters for the elections.
