A nomination from a member of Congress is the first step in students' applications to the four schools.\n\"I'm proud to nominate Montana's best and brightest students to our nation's most prestigious military academies each year, Tester said. These young men and women have earned this honor through their hard work in and out of the classroom, and I'm looking forward to watching them become the next generation of leaders to serve our state and this country.\nMontana students interested in applying for a military academy nomination in the future can request a nomination from Tester HERE.\nSenator Jon Tester's 2020 military academy nominations:\nU.S. Air Force Academy\n \nDane Becker, Missoula\nKadyn Craigle, Helena\nRobinson Dale, Sheridan\nGustavo de Souza, Kalispell\nGrant Eckerson, Helena\nKaitlyn Edwards, Helena\nRobert Hartley, Bozeman\nDavid Hogenson, Bozeman\nRiley Horton, Missoula\nGentry Lamb, Shepherd\nMathilda Inman, Montana City\nTamara O'Leary, Helena\nTayt Rogers, Bozeman\nCarson Seiler, Billings\nChristian Sherman, Butte\nAlexis Tri, Great Falls\nShaela Tuell, Columbia Falls\nTyler Vannatta, Billings\nSam Weisenburger, Seeley\nCharles Yeager, Livingston\n \nU.S. Military Academy\n \nRobinson Dale, Sheridan\nGrant Eckerson, Helena\nKaitlyn Edwards, Helena\nDavid Hogenson, Bozeman\nBrock McDaid, East Helena\nSimon McMahon, Missoula\nAlexander Redmon, Bozeman\nPanagiotis Saliaris, Billings\nSophie Smith, Kalispell\nSam Weisenburger, Seeley\n \nU.S. Naval Academy\n \nJacob Bailey, Whitefish\nMax Cole, Scobey\nGustavo de Souza, Kalispell\nKian Lynde, Great Falls\nEmma Martinsen, Billings\nChristopher Miller, Missoula\nTanner Russell, Kalispell\nSophie Smith, Kalispell\nShaela Tuell, Columbia Falls\nSam Weisenburger, Seeley\n \nU.S. Merchant Marine Academy\n \nJacob Boetticher, Power\nGrant Eckerson, Helena\nDavid Hogenson, Bozeman\nVivienne Johnson, Helena\nGentry Lamb, Shepherd\nCameron Pleninger, Havre\nPanagiotis Saliaris, Billings\nCarson Seiler, Billings\nChristian Sherman, Butte\nSamuel Weisenburger, Seeley", 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.tester.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=7120"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8100909180939198, "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"}
