As a 20-year member of our military, one of the highest honors I have is the opportunity to nominate young Iowans to attend one of the U.S. Service Academies. My experience has been transformative, and I’m grateful to be able to help other young people have the same experience.

I’m proud to announce that I am nominating the following high achievers for appointment at a U.S. Service Academy: Colton Manock, Polk City Tobin McArthur, Atlantic Aidan Murphy, Chariton Mitchell Swarthout, Mount Ayr Congratulations!
