Young men and women who wish to attend a U.S. service academy must obtain a nomination from an authorized nominating source, such as a member of Congress. \r\nOf this years nominees, Ryan said: \r\nMilitary service is an honorable calling. Americas service academies have the highest standards of excellence, and I am proud to nominate these students from Wisconsins First District. I am more than confident that they will rise to the challenge. Should they be accepted, they will represent their state and their nation with pride. \r\nSelecting these nominees was a very tough job, and for that reason, I want to thank the members of my Service Academy Nomination Advisory (SANA) Board for their advice and hard work. \r\nThe SANA Board interviewed and evaluated applicants from the First District early this month. Consisting of veterans, academy graduates, and educators, the SANA Board was appointed by Ryan to assist him with identifying the most qualified applicants. First District applicants are typically in the top tier of their class, are active in their communities, and demonstrate great potential for leadership.\r\nA list of the students nominated by Congressman Ryan follows (photographs available upon request):\r\nKenosha County\r\nMason French  attends Tremper High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD)\r\nPaul Gierl  attends St. Joseph Catholic Academy, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD)\r\nColten Greenhill  attends Westosha Central High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD)\r\nFredrick Zuehls  attends Wilmot Union High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD)\r\nMilwaukee County\r\nAaron Craig  attends Oak Creek High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO)\r\nCorrine Kurz  attends Oak Creek High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Military Academy (West Point, NY)\r\nRacine County\r\nMorgan Heeren  attends Waterford Union High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO)\r\nJoshua Stroo  attends Union Grove High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO)\r\nWalworth County\r\nCarson Hillier  attends Badger High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD)\r\nWaukesha County\r\nClarice Adams  attends Mukwonago High School, nominated for appointments to the U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD), the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy (Kings Point, NY), and the U.S. Military Academy (West Point, NY)\r\nJacob Bane  attends Norwich University (2016 graduate of Mukwonago High School), nominated for appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD)\r\nMadison Black  resides in Mukwonago and attends Catholic Memorial High School, nominated for appointments to the U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD) and the U.S. Military Academy (West Point, NY) \r\nAliyah Brown attends Eisenhower High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO) \r\nLiam Dolan attends the University of Wisconsin-Madison (2017 graduate of Mukwonago High School), nominated for appointments to the U.S. Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO) and the U.S. Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD)\r\nJack Rohlinger attends Muskego High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO) \r\nMason Schoof attends Muskego High School, nominated for appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs, CO)", 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": ["http://paulryan.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=398774"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4007068239152431, "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"}
