David James Stuckenberg (born September 7, 1981) is a former U.S. Presidential Candidate and prominent figure in international business, government, and politics and a defense strategist, scientist, and author.^{[1] [2]} Stuckenberg has been called "The George F. Kennan of this century" by senior defense leaders and "A National Treasure," by Ambassador R. James Woolsey, 16th Director of Central Intelligence.^[3] A statesmen, like Benjamin Franklin, Stuckenberg is a polymath.

In 2017, Stuckenberg co-founded Genesis Systems, a science and technology company focused on solving global water scarcity.^{[4] [5] [6]} As Co-founder and Chairman of the American Leadership and Policy Foundation^[7] (ALPF) (a 501C3), he has advocated for democratic policies that support law, economics, and defense. Stuckenberg has been a voice of leadership in the U.S. Department of Defense and government on critical infrastructure security and key national security strategies.^{[8] [9]} He has served as a military advisor, scientist, and strategist at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the U.S. Department of State, the National Security Counsel, and the United States Air Force advising Northern Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).^{[10] [11]} He has also advised members of the U.S. Congress and Senate on security issues.

In 2023, Stuckenberg was widely quoted by media and U.S. Congressional members after the high-altitude China balloon incident over North America; one of his published works in 2015 described potential uses of such platforms.^{[12][13][14][15]}

"In a 2015 report for the American Leadership & Policy Foundation, Air Force Maj David Stuckenberg, one of the nation’s leading EMP experts, wrote extensively about the threat balloons carrying bombs pose to national security. 'Using a balloon as a WMD/WME platform could provide adversaries with a pallet of altitudes and payload options with which to maximize offensive effects against the U.S.,' he wrote in the report."^[16]

According to media, "NATO leaders have called Stuckenberg a 'young disruptor', others call him a global influencer. He’s also an executive and director of strategy for the Headquarters Texas Air National Guard (one of the largest in the U.S.), who founded and led the Electromagnetic Defense Task Force (EDTF) for two years."^[17][18] Stuckenberg also founded the San Antonio Electromagnetic Defense Initiative (EDI) presently comprised of more than 110 agencies and 720 stakeholders.^[19] EDI is currently led by a Brigadier General and is now called San Antonio Electromagnetic Defense (EMD).^{[20] [21]} According to the United States Air Force (USAF), the EDTF and EDI-EMD are White House Benchmarked programs and received government funding.^[22]

Stuckenberg is a combat tested aviator and former USAF Special Operations Pilot. He is a decorated veteran and recipient of the Air Medal and six Aerial Achievement Medals, having completed more than 150 combat missions after 9/11, according to the United States Air Force Air University and other U.S. government sources.^[23][24]

David was a 2024 U.S. presidential primary candidate for the Republican Party. His campaign dubbed "Operation Dark Horse" began more than a year after most candidates entered the primary and just two months before the Iowa Caucus.^{[10] [25]} His campaign committee was called Citizens for David Stuckenberg^[26], which secured his name on ballots in IA, NH, S.C. MO, D.C., ND, AL, AR, CA, OK, TN, TX, GA, AZ, and LA (as of April 14, 2024).^{[27] [28]} During his campaign, members of the UK media called Stuckenberg "The One to Watch..."^[29]

His unique campaign was covered by English speaking papers around the world, including Times of India for his policy positions on international security and India-U.S. relations: "Highlighting the potential for a mutually beneficial relationship, Stuckenberg added, 'Where cooperation is concerned between India and the United States, there is rich goodwill and opportunity to continue to uplift our societies.'"^[30] A thematic of his campaign was that other candidates had little experience in national security and that time was not on America's side to get America's house in order.^[31]
