Military Academy Nominations

I have the distinct honor of nominating candidates for appointment to four of the five U.S. service academies:

• U.S. Military Academy (USMA), West Point, NY;
• U.S. Naval Academy (USNA), Annapolis, MD;
• U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA), Colorado Springs, CO; and
• U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA), Kings Point, NY.

(The fifth service academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy (USCGA), New London, CT, does not require a congressional nomination for appointment.)

If you would like to request a Military Academy Nomination from my office, please complete the application on my website and submit it to the District Office in Willmar, Minnesota, postmarked no later than October 6, 2023, to be considered for an appointment in 2024.

For more information, please review the page of Frequently Asked Questions for those seeking a Military Academy Nomination.

You can register for entry here.

Congressional Art Competition

I encourage all students to to submit their artwork for the chance to have it showcased in the U.S. Capitol!

This contest is open to all high school students in Minnesota's 7th Congressional District. The exhibit in Washington will include the winning artwork from all participating districts from around the country. The winning artwork is also featured on House.gov's Congressional Art Competition page.

All entries must be original in concept, design, and execution and may not violate any U.S. copyright laws. Any entry that has been copied from an existing photo or image (including a painting, graphic, or advertisement) that was created by someone other than the student is a violation of the competition rules and will not be accepted. Work entered must be in the original medium (that is, not a scanned reproduction of a painting or drawing).

2024 submissions will be due this spring, with an official deadline to be announced. For more information, please visit my website.
