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

State Representative Adam Holmes (R-Nashport) 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. 

“Ohio’s rich aviation tradition and robust space sector infrastructure make us a logical choice to host the U.S. Space Force Academy,” said Holmes.

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.
