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.
Herschel doesn’t just talk about supporting the troops, he has dedicated the past 13 years of his life to traveling the country and the world meeting with members of our military to share his own story and encourage our great troops. Herschel has seen firsthand the tremendous sacrifices that our men and women in uniform make and will always put American interests first at home and abroad. He believes that we must invest heavily in our military to ensure we have the best personnel and equipment, can never negotiate with terrorists, and should never leave any American behind.
