Boise, ID – Idaho Congressman Simpson announces the candidates nominated for potential  appointments to one of our nation’s four service academies. Nominees show excellence in academics, volunteering in their communities, and participation in extra-curricular actives. In addition to these accomplishments, candidates need to obtain a Congressional Nomination. Congressman Simpson has nominated 16 candidates to the United States Air Force Academy, 14 to the United States Military Academy, 17 to the United States Naval Academy and 9 to the United States Merchant Marine Academy. Many candidates earned nominations to multiple academies.
