Service Academy Nominations
Thank you for contacting me about a nomination to one of our nation's service academies. Although I am able to make only a few nominations each year, those decisions are among the most important and difficult I make as your United States Senator. Because of the limited number of nominations each Member of Congress has, I encourage you to also contact Senator Cornyn and your congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives about their nomination process. If you are not sure who your congressman is, please visit http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/ to determine your representative in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Should you have any questions, I hope you will not hesitate to contact my office. I look forward to receiving your information and thank you again for your interest.
