U.S. Senators Susan Collins and Angus King announced their nominees Dec. 5 to the United States military academies.

Connor Grant of Houlton has been named a candidate for the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.

To be considered for an appointment to a service academy, applicants must be nominated by an authorized nominating source, which includes Members of Congress.

“We are proud to have the honor to nominate such an impressive group of Maine students to our nation’s distinguished service academies,” said Collins and King in a joint statement. “The young people we have nominated have earned this honor through a commitment to strong scholarship, leadership, and character.”
