BROOKFIELD, WI – Today, Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner (WI-05) announced the nomination of 31 candidates from Wisconsin’s Fifth Congressional District for appointment to the U.S. service academies.
Rep. Sensenbrenner: “This year Wisconsin’s Fifth Congressional District yielded another outstanding group of students interested in attending the academies. They have demonstrated the ability to serve our nation, and I wish them all tremendous success. I would like to thank our Academy Selection Committee for the work they put into interviewing and assessing this year’s applicants. Their efforts play a vital role in this process.
