Will Rollins | California’s 41st District
Will is a former federal prosecutor who focused on counterterrorism and counterintelligence cases in Southern California. He’s from a family of Republicans and Democrats. He's running for Congress because the threats to our democracy and to our communities that first led him to run for office are still there, and Ken Calvert's record of extremism and corruption is only making things worse. Will is running to fight back against corruption in Washington, and end the toxic divisions that prevent Congress from getting things done for working families.
Coming of age at a time when being gay was literally a crime in some states, Will and his partner Paolo know that government-sponsored discrimination has lasting effects on all Americans, our economy, and our national security. That has motivated Will to improve the lives of others who face discrimination. Will’s mother and father, a public defender and journalist, respectively, stressed the importance of justice and free speech at a young age. His parents taught him that although the system may not be perfect, every generation has a responsibility to improve it. With this lesson in mind, Will is running for Congress to serve the 41st district of California and bring justice and accountability back to Washington.
