Will Hurd in Survey of 2024 Presidential campaign websites
On Budget & Economy:
We need free markets not democratic socialism
American economic and military dominance is no longer guaranteed. Prosperity is a product of empowering people not the Government.
To move people up the economic ladder we need free markets not democratic socialism.

On Civil Rights:
Don't be a jerk, racist, misogynist or homophobe
There has been and continues to be a lack of leadership in Washington, D.C. Leaders should inspire not fearmonger.
It's simple. Don't be a jerk, racist, misogynist or homophobe and work together to accomplish big things.

On Education:
School choice is a great way to encourage competition
We can't explain the importance of education without talking about national security. Not only is a well-trained and educated society necessary for economic growth, but it is also vital to our safety and security. Education is a national security issue.
We need a workforce that understands why tech is important. We need our students to be ready to design the next encryption algorithms to protect our military, government, and private sector.
One of the best ways to improve education in our country is to introduce competition into the system. When there is competition, everyone benefits – especially our kids. I believe school choice is a great way to encourage competition.
It gives parents the power to choose the best school from where their child can get a proper education, regardless of where they live or how much money they have. And it forces schools to up their game in order to attract and retain students.

On Families & Children:
Increase child tax credit so parents can afford childcare
The average cost for an infant in a childcare center is an astonishing $1,230 per month. For many parents, that's more per year than the cost of a college education. The government can help ease this financial burden. The long-term solution to this
problem is not President Biden issuing some kind of executive order. The solution is passing legislation that increases the child tax credit so that more Americans with kids get to keep the money that they've earned.

On Foreign Policy:
Workforce key to winning New Cold War with Chinese
Our ability to build a workforce of tomorrow, not yesterday, will determine whether the United States can win the New Cold War with the Chinese Government in which we are currently engaged. The winner of this
New Cold War will be the global superpower for the rest of this century, and for America to win we need to reboot our thinking on how to educate our kids.

On Health Care:
Health insurance isn't healthcare, government not the answer
What gets lost in the uproar about efforts to bring health insurance to more people is that health insurance is not healthcare. More than a decade after the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, there are still millions of people who cannot access or
afford quality healthcare. They may have received expensive insurance but they do not have the financial resources to pay for treatment. Having government agencies make decisions on the kind of care an individual should receive is not the answer.

On Principles & Values:
US is exceptional nation because of what we've given
America has become an exceptional nation not because of what we have taken but what we have given.
We need a foreign policy that inspires fear in our enemies and causes our friends to love us.

On Technology:
We need a national cyber strategy to defend our systems
The technological change we are going to see in the next 30 years is going to make the change we saw in the last 30 years look insignificant. We must be prepared to take advantage of technology before it takes advantage of us.
With an increasingly interconnected world we need to treat cyber as a domain just like air, land, sea, and space. We need a national cyber strategy to defend our systems from state and non-state actors.

On Immigration:
We need strong disincentives to prevent illegal immigration
We have benefitted from the brain drain from every other country in the world. We need to benefit from the hard working drain as well,
and we need immigration policy in place that puts strong disincentives from coming here illegally so we have a much more manageable immigration system.
