MoveOn is Proud to Endorse Will Rollins for Congress!

Meet Will Rollins

Will Rollins, a former federal prosecutor specializing in counterterrorism and counterintelligence in Southern California, is running for Congress. Coming from a family of both Republicans and Democrats, he aims to address ongoing threats to democracy and fight corruption, countering the extremism and divisiveness exacerbated by Ken Calvert’s record.

Legal Career

After attending Dartmouth and Columbia Law School, Will clerked for two federal judges in California. As an Assistant U.S. Attorney, he tackled white-collar crime, including prosecuting a Ponzi scheme organizer and a corrupt physician. Later, he joined the National Security Division, prosecuting significant cases like the export of missile guidance microchips to China, violations of U.S. sanctions on Iran, an attack at the Port of Los Angeles by a QAnon follower, and insurrectionists from the January 6th Capitol attack.

Southern California Roots

Will’s grandparents, WWII veterans, started a small business in Southern California that still operates today, manufacturing parts for U.S. fighter jets and commercial aircraft. Growing up, Will saw the effects of government-sponsored discrimination on all Americans, our economy, and national security. At a time when being gay was a crime in some states, he considered enlisting in the military after 9/11 but was deterred by “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Instead, Will found his path in counterterrorism through law enforcement, inspired by his parents—his mother a public defender and his father a journalist—who instilled the importance of justice and free speech.

Will Rollins’ Bid for Congress

Will Rollins is running for Congress to serve California’s 41st district. He believes in bringing justice and accountability back to Washington. He seeks to end toxic divisions, combat corruption, and ensure that Congress works for the benefit of working families. Will’s commitment to public service is driven by the values his family instilled in him and his experiences as a federal prosecutor. He aims to represent his district with integrity and a focus on improving the lives of his constituents, advocating for a government that truly serves its people.
