The week of October 17-21 is known as "Nuclear Science Week," an opportunity to celebrate nuclear science and the vital role it plays in developing nuclear energy technologies. 

As the ranking member of the House Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee, I have long been a supporter of renewable energy. I strongly support a responsible, revitalized domestic nuclear energy program. As the home of the lead nuclear research facility in the country, I am proud of the work done in Idaho to expand the use of nuclear power to meet our nation’s growing energy needs.

I recently shared a few remarks about the INL and the promising future of nuclear energy, listen to them HERE.

The privilege of nominating Idaho's best and brightest students to our nation's service academies is an important and enjoyable aspect of being a Congressman. Unfortunately, many young men and women in Idaho are not aware of the tremendous opportunities that await them at the service academies.

Academy graduates receive a first-rate undergraduate education equivalent to that provided by a top-tier, Ivy League school; have many options to pursue advanced degrees; are guaranteed a job; and spend a minimum of five years on active duty as a military officer with many career opportunities available. If you are highly motivated, looking for a challenge in your life and want to serve your country, I hope you will consider attending a service academy.

I will be accepting applications to be considered for a nomination until November 15, 2022. Find out more information about the application process below.
