State Representative Click Supports Effort to Bring U.S. Space Force Academy to Ohio

State Representative Gary Click (R-Vickery) recently signed a letter addressed to Governor DeWine, expressing strong support for Ohio to be named the future home of the U.S. Space Force Academy. 

“I was honored to attend the first official graduation of the Space Force BMT, which was held simultaneously with my son’s graduation from USAF BMT in San Antonio, Texas,” said Rep. Click. “Bringing the Space Force Academy to the birthplace of aviation is very fitting. Not only will it be an economic boost for Ohio, but it will be a great expression of the patriotism that lives deep inside of each Ohioan.”

The letter, signed by Speaker Matt Huffman (R-Lima) and members of the House Republican Caucus, highlights Ohio’s rich history of aerospace pioneers such as Neil Armstrong and John Glenn, as well as the state’s longstanding leadership in innovation, robust network of military installations, and defense industry partnerships.

This letter follows an announcement from Senator Bernie Moreno earlier this week, calling on Ohio officials to join him in bringing the U.S. Space Force Academy to Dayton, Ohio – the birthplace of aviation. You can read the full release here.
