Hi, I'm Will Hurd

When I stepped into the 2024 presidential race, I did so to provide common-sense leadership in these complicated times. I was inspired by a vision of a future where we boldly confront the generational challenges in foreign policy, technology, and politics, charting a course towards unprecedented triumphs and successes.

The race for president didn’t end with me in the Oval Office, but it was marked by an incredible outpouring of support.

Over 50,000 donations came in from people who believed in what we stood for – each one a vote of trust in our vision for America’s road ahead. Each donation represented a brick in the foundation of a movement that transcends a single election cycle – a movement based on unity, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to America’s enduring ideals.

We may not have won, but we built a community united by hope and determination.

And that’s a victory in itself.

While our aim was to secure the presidency, what we achieved is equally momentous: a united chorus advocating for progress and an unwavering commitment to positively shape the future.

Now, the work goes on, bolstered by a community ready to champion the values we hold dear.

For over two decades, my commitment to national security has been unwavering. As an undercover officer in the CIA, for 10 years I faced off against threats in dangerous places and in high-stakes situations and even learned how to play the piano and picked up Urdu.

Recognizing the coming digital revolution, for 4 years in the private sector I helped build a cybersecurity firm, arming businesses against looming digital threats and got to meet the amazing woman who would become my wife.

During my 6 years in Congress, I had the privilege of representing the interests of my constituents and my home state of Texas, fervently debating the most important security issues facing our nation and got to eat in some of the best greasy spoons and toured many national parks.

For 2 years in investment banking, I helped companies on the cutting edge of technologies that will determine whether or not this century stays the American century.

My mission?

Protecting our nation’s integrity, both in the physical and virtual realms, all while remembering to appreciate life’s simple pleasures by recognizing I am lucky to have been born in the greatest country ever.

Power competition with China is happening at a time when technological change is affecting all domains of conflict – land, air, sea, space, and cyberspace.

Compare it to a soldier in battle who has an inferior firearm and either doesn’t know how to use it, or it doesn’t work the way they think it will. In this scenario, that soldier is unable to fight effectively.

We must achieve technical fitness for a cyber war we are already fighting – a war where the winner will control the world.
