As an Assistant U.S. Attorney, Will tried high-profile cases arising out of complex criminal and national security investigations. In addition to his jury trial work, Will briefed and argued appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and led dozens of complex grand jury investigations. Will prosecuted white collar crimes, as well as multiple gang and cartel cases, including a wiretap investigation into a Mexican Mafia-affiliated street gang that resulted in the indictment of 17 defendants. He later joined the National Security Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office, where he focused on counterterrorism and counterintelligence.

After leaving the Department of Justice, Will became the Democratic nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives in California’s 41st District, where he was described in Politico as “the best candidate in the country” and set the record for the most money raised by a congressional challenger in state history (2024). Will was endorsed by the Los Angeles Times and more than 700 former military and national security officials in both parties. He also received support from former President Bill Clinton, the Governor of California, the Attorney General of California, California’s former Republican Assembly Leader, and dozens of members of Congress. Will’s extensive media experience includes appearances on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News, and his campaign was regularly covered by the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Washington Post.
