The students were selected based on meeting or exceeding the stringent requirements of the respective academy and of Tiptons office, which uses a merit-based, competitive nomination process. Students who applied were required to submit an essay, test scores, an application, letters of recommendation, transcripts, and complete a panel interview in order to be considered.\n \n\tIt takes hard work, intelligence and determination to meet the high entrance standards of our nations Service Academies, traits that are critical for success as a leader in the Armed Forces. To earn a nomination, these students have met or exceeded these high standards and demonstrated a true passion to serve our country, said Tipton. On behalf of the 3rd Congressional District I commend these exceptional students for their selflessness and dedication, and wish them well in what will no doubt be a very bright future.\n \nTipton called to personally notify each student of the nomination(s) last week.\nCongressman Tiptons Academy Nominations for Colorados 3rd Congressional District: \nU.S. Air Force Academy\n *Alexandre Basagoita, Monte Vista, Sargent HS, currently attending Adams State University\n\tKobi Betts, Pueblo, Pueblo Central HS\n\t*Kyle Cox, Montrose, Montrose HS\n\tJonathan Hints, Pueblo, Pueblo West HS, graduated 2012, currently active duty AF\n\tLydia Knutson, Cedaredge, Cedaredge HS\n\tJessica Tuttle, Glenwood Springs, Glenwood Springs HS\n\tNatasha Weimer, Grand Junction, currently attending Northwestern Prep School\n\tNoah Smith, Pueblo, Pueblo South HS\n\t*Kamren McKee, Fruita, Fruita Monument HS\n\tMary Hood, Alamosa, Sargent HS\n U.S. Naval Academy\n *Connor Frasier, Steamboat Springs, Steamboat Springs HS\n\tSamuel Samberson, Pueblo West, Pueblo West HS\n\tJacob Crouch, Steamboat Springs, Steamboat Springs HS\n\tNolan Butcher, Grand Junction, Hill School (boarding school in Pennsylvania)\n\t*Kyle Cox, Montrose, Montrose HS\n\tMichael Tucker, Silt, Coal Ridge HS\n\t*Aileen Ojeda, Pueblo, Centennial HS\n\tJoshua Hardin, Grand Junction, Hotchkiss HS Grad 2013, currently attending Colorado Mesa University\n\tMorgan Wright, Silverton, Ouray HS\n\t*Frankie Turner, Durango, Bayfield HS\n West Point\n *Alexandre Basagoita, Monte Vista, Sargent HS, currently attending Adams State University\n\tAllyson Ludewig, Gypsum, Eagle Valley HS\n\t*Aileen Ojeda, Pueblo, Centennial HS\n\tCarter Ortiz, Pueblo, Pueblo West HS\n\t*Kamren McKee, Fruita, Fruita Monument HS\n\t*Connor Frasier, Steamboat Springs, Steamboat Springs HS\n\t*Frankie Turner, Durango, Bayfield HS\n\tSilas Luke Stobbe, Grand Junction, Mesa Valley Community School\n U.S. Merchant Marine Academy\n Nathaniel Todd, Lewis, Life Independent School\n\tKaleb Todd, Lewis, Life Independent School\n *Received nominations to multiple Service Academies\nStudents who are residents of Colorados 3rd Congressional District and are considering applying to a U.S. Service Academy can find more information on the nomination process at: https://tipton.house.gov/serving-you/military-academy-nominations\nNominations from previous years can be found here: 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.", 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://tipton.house.gov/press-release/3rd-district-students-receive-us-service-academy-nominations"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4268672093749046, "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"}
