Randolph Student Nominated to Air Force Academy

WASHINGTON -- Congressman Tom Petri reports that he has nominated Randolph High School senior Tyler Lee Swanson for appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, CO.

Petri's nominees are chosen in an annual non-partisan competition, based on their high school records, as judged by a commission of 14 residents of the 6th Congressional District.
