An academy selection board assembled by Daines reviewed the applications and conducted interviews of the applicants.\r\nThe following is a complete list of Daines' 2018 service academy nominations by county:\r\nMissoula County:\r\nKamrin Rosling,Missoula: USMA\r\nFinnian Westenfelder,Missoula: USAFA\r\nMadison Edwards,Missoula: USAFA\r\nGallatin County:\r\nAiden Reinhardt,Bozeman: USAFA,USMA\r\nLogan Wilkes,Bozeman: USMA, USNA, USAFA, USMMA\r\nStillwater County:\r\nNathan Palmer,Columbus: USNA\r\nTeton County:\r\nBerit Bedord,Power: USMA, USNA, USAFA, USMMA\r\nRavalli County:\r\nSophia Doyle,Hamilton: USMA\r\nGabriel Bennett,Florence: USMA, USNA, USAFA\r\nFlathead County:\r\nTyler Dunnagen, Whitefish: USNA, USAFA\r\nLincoln Jones, Kalispell: USNA, USAFA\r\nSilver Bow County:\r\nWilliam Cunneen, Butte: USMA, USNA, USAFA, USMMA\r\nYellowstone County:\r\nCharles Morledge-Hampton, Billings: USNA\r\nCarbon County:\r\nShane Vomund,Red Lodge: USMA, USNA, USAFA, USMMA\r\n\r\n###\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t  \n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t \n\t\t\n\t\t\tPrint\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tEmail\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tTweet\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t \n\t\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n  \n\t\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \t\n    \t\n\t    \t  \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tPrevious Article\n\t\t    \n\t\t    \n\t\t    \tNext Article", 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.daines.senate.gov/news/press-releases/daines-announces-us-service-academy-nominations-for-montana-students"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0067718103528023, "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"}
