Reichert held a reception honoring the young men and women who received nominations to one of the U.S. service academies. The nomination process is not easy, and all who received a nomination are young people of the highest caliber. They must have excellent grades, clear leadership skills, and a heart for service.\n\u201cI am so proud of the young men and women of our district who received appointments to one of our service academies. They are a group of upstanding, highly intelligent young people who will serve our great nation to the best of their abilities.\u201d said Reichert. \u201cAnd while it was not possible for everyone I nominated to receive appointments, they were all deserving of that distinction. I am honored to have been able to meet them and interact with them during this time in their lives, and I look forward to seeing the great things they will do in their futures.\u201d\nThe students who received appointments to a service academy from the Washington-8th District* are:\nUnited States Air Force Academy   \n\tNichole Carlson; Duvall, WA  \n\tDaniel Cinnamon; Renton, WA  \n\tAaron Fitts; Mercer Island, WA  \n\tAshley Martinez; Carnation, WA  \n\tLarkin Sayre; Mercer Island, WA  \n\tMaria Volodkevich; Sammamish, WA\nUnited States Merchant Marine Academy   \n\tEvan Nygaard; Bellevue, WA\nUnited States Military Academy  \n\tCole Johnson; Bellevue, WA  \n\tDylan Thomas; Orting, WA\nUnited States Naval Academy   \n\tNicholas Co; Issaquah, WA  \n\tBenjamin Dimer; Mercer Island, WA  \n\tAlyson Hands; Bellevue, WA  \n\tJordan Harris; Bellevue, WA  \n\tAllen Wang; Issaquah, WA  \n\tSonya Ye; Sammamish, WA\n\u00a0\n*Please note that these appointments are from the 112th Congressional 8th District and do not reflect the redrawn 113th Congressional 8th District.", 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://reichert.house.gov/press-release/rep-reichert-applauds-8th-district-service-academy"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.5912431515753269, "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"}
