I’ve undertaken covert CIA missions overseas, helped cutting-edge technology companies, and challenged the political status quo as a candidate for President.
Here, I share common sense takes on national security, technology, and current events; I also let you into my world of ‘Americana’ – like that little-known BBQ spot or the best national parks.
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.
As we stand at the crossroads of American history, the soul of our country is under attack. We are facing generational defining challenges that will shape the trajectory of the future of America.
Rep. Will Hurd draws on his unique experiences in back alleys of dangerous places, boardrooms of international businesses, and the halls of Congress to lay out a detailed plan to “reboot America,” offering a fresh start to a country mired in political divides and internal strife. Expand the description
Will Hurd tells a great story about his life and his experiences in the CIA, private business, and as a Congressman. The book also serves as a playbook for like minded Republicans that want to transform the party from the extremes of Trump back to a solutions based party that actually gets things done.
This is one of the best books I have ever read. Part personal story, part political analysis, but mainly just common sense thinking and analysis of solutions to problems. Will Hurd is an amazing writer and person and I expect to see him do great things in the future.
This was a great read. As someone who tends to identify as an Independent or moderate, I thought Mr. Hurd made some great points and offered thoughtful solutions. I hope he considers a run for political office again, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.
A life long Republican I had lost hope that I would ever vote Republican again after the extremist views have taken over the party over the last 6 years. This book covered all my values & concerns in a nuanced way that the majority of politicians today seem incapable of doing.
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.

Artificial Intelligence and robotics are rapidly evolving industries and technologies, raising the question: “Will robots take my job?” I’ve explored this question for almost a decade.

Will Hurd has spent the past 20 years on the front lines of the most pressing fights facing our nation, in the Middle East, Congress, and the highest levels of business and tech.
Will has spent his life fighting for our country, and he will take those decades of experience with him as he fights for all us.
In every decision we make, we stand at a crossroads. The path of division and quick fixes is well-trodden, but it’s time we consider a different route – one paved with unity and foresight.
Imagine an America where common sense prevails, where policies are crafted with the people’s best interests at heart, and our collective strengths are the foundation of national progress.
This is more than a possibility. It’s a choice we can make right now. By coming together, we have the power to foster a nation that champions innovation, inclusivity, and integrity.
We’re a nation full of people with these values. If this describes you, you might be a modern Republican.
Will got more legislation signed into law in three terms than most congressmen do in their entire career. He worked across the aisle, and prioritized good policy over politics.
