Rep. Hern announces 2020 nominees to Military Service Academies

TULSA, OK – Representative Kevin Hern (OK-01) released the following statement after announcing his 2020 nominees to the United States Service Academies.

“The students in the First District are impressive,” said Rep. Hern. “I had an extraordinary group of students apply for these positions this year, giving my nominations committee some challenging decisions. Our military service academies provide some of the most rigorous educations in our country. The graduates who walk out are some of the best in the world. It takes a true servant’s heart to want to serve your country in that way, and a relentless dedication to get there. The students I nominated this week represent the very best of Oklahoma and I wish them all the best as they move forward in the application process.”
