Whether on the football field, in the classroom, at the Olympics, in Mixed Martial Arts, as CEO of multiple businesses, or as spokesman for the Patriot Support Program, Herschel’s work ethic, commitment to excellence, and love for America has inspired millions.
Now, he is tackling his next challenge: winning a seat in the United States Senate.
Herschel Walker was born on March 3, 1962, to his parents, Willis and Christine Walker. Raised in Wrightsville, Georgia, Herschel was taught faith in God and the small-town values of discipline and sacrifice.
During his high school years, he led both his football and track teams to state championships while also graduating top of his class at Johnson County High School.
After a 15-year professional football career, Herschel decided to build his own business from the ground up. What started as a small operation has grown to be one of the largest minority-owned food suppliers in the United States. He knows firsthand the struggles of owning a business, balancing a budget, and dealing with government red tape. He will fight for lower taxes, fewer government regulations, and more free-market capitalism.
