U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) today announced U.S. Service Academy nominations for 31 qualified high school seniors from 20 counties in West Virginia. A board chosen by Senator Capito reviewed each nominees application, interviewed candidates, and made recommendations.\nEach year, I have the honor and privilege of nominating West Virginias best and brightest to our nations prestigious service academies. It is truly one of the most important responsibilities I have as a United States senator, Senator Capito said. I am proud to announce this group of young men and women who are smart, talented, and driven and have worked extremely hard to get to this point. Attending a service academy provides more than just an education; it provides the foundation for a life of service and leadership. I wish each of these nominees the best of luck, and I am honored to support them throughout this process.\nService academy nominees are listed below:\nU.S. Air Force Academy\nZeead Mohamed Belhachmi  Berkeley County\nOwen Immanuel Gainer  Ohio County\nMichael Alexander Henriquez (also nominated to the U.S. Military Academy)Jefferson County\nHank Zachary Herald  Monongalia County\nSophia McQuaide Parlock  Cabell County\nBraeden Cole Pauley  Monongalia County\nMichael Lewis Smith  Raleigh County\nEmily Renee Stone  Taylor County\nMargaret Claire Warner  Monongalia County\nJoseph Frederick Wilkins  Hardy County\nU.S. Merchant Marine Academy\nBlayne Lee Butler  Mason County\nCollin Robert Dodgion  Wayne County\nNicolas Andr Morel (also nominated to the U.S. Naval Academy)Berkeley County\nU.S. Military Academy\nDrew Alexander Adams  Wirt County\nDaelen Andrew Boggs  Kanawha County\nJonathan Dwayne Cyrus  Kanawha County\nMichael Alexander Henriquez (also nominated to the U.S. Air Force Academy)Jefferson County\nDavid Bradley Middleton  Wood County\nMitchell James Miller  Wood County\nCameron Lee Patterson  Putnam County\nKatelyn Nicole Richardson  Mercer County\nStephen Robert Snyder  Ohio County\nPayton Elizabeth Stamper  Logan County\nU.S. Naval Academy\nVictoria Lynn Carson  Nicholas County\nJames Alexander Inman  Berkeley County\nThomas Richard Martineau  Jefferson County\nNicolas Andr Morel (also nominated to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy)Berkeley County\nJordon Ray Nibert  Fayette County\nEvan Kelly Spradling  Kanawha County\nAustin Cole Stover  Putnam County\nAlexis Jane Summers  Wood County\nTaylor Rose Swiger  Berkeley County\nKatherene Rose Welsh  Marshall County\r\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.capito.senate.gov/news/press-releases/capito-nominates-31-west-virginians-for-admission-to-us-service-academies"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9739971719682217, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
