Congresswoman Pingree Nominates 23 Maine Students to US Service Academies

Congresswoman Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) has announced her office's nominees to the United States Service Academies-the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis; U.S. Military Academy at West Point; U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs; and U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York.

"These outstanding young Mainers represent the best and brightest in our state. Through their leadership, academic excellence, and commitment to serving others, they have proven themselves to be truly exceptional," said Pingree. "No matter where their journeys take them, they should take immense pride in their accomplishments. Their dedication to serving our country is inspiring, and I am honored to nominate them."

The nominees were interviewed by a panel of six on their academic record, test scores, leadership ability, involvement in extra-curricular activities, and exemplified commitment to serving their country. To be considered for an appointment to a service academy, applicants must be nominated by an authorized nominating source, which includes Members of Congress.

Pingree nominated several students to more than one academy. The full list of nominations is below. Contact information is available upon request.
