Congressional Youth Academy Applications Are Now Open |

My office invites all high school students in the 22nd District of Texas to apply for the 2023 Congressional Youth Academy.
This academy will have guest speakers from various levels of government to avail students of the pivotal role of lawmakers, experts, and citizens in a representative democracy. The top 50 applicants will receive an intimate and in-depth understanding of the role of our nation’s lawmakers and be asked to provide fresh ideas from the council’s mock Congress. This program is a one-day event intended to bolster student experience and enhance resumes.
To allow more students to apply to the Congressional Youth Academy, the date to submit a completed application has been moved to September 23, 2023. The Congressional Youth Academy will now be held on October 21, 2023. More details will be released upon acceptance to the program.

Service Academy Nominations Are Now Open |

My office is now accepting Service Academy Nominations.
One of the privileges of serving in the United States House of Representatives is the opportunity to nominate outstanding young people from the 22nd Congressional District of Texas to be considered for appointment to our nation’s service academies.
Admission to a service academy is a two-tiered process. First, the candidate must meet the minimum standards set by the individual academy. Second, the candidate must complete the congressional application by October 6, 2023, to be considered for an interview in our office with the nomination review board. Please note, the ultimate selection of appointees rests solely with academy officials and is based on their competitive evaluation of all nominees.
The checklist and application can be found on my website. If you have any questions, please email [email protected] or call my district office at (346) 762-6600.
