In nominating young women and men to our service academies, it must only be about who you are, not who you know.
— Ron Barber
As a son of an airman who was stationed at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson and a member of the House Armed Services Committee, it is my honor to nominate young people to our military academies.
Having grown up in a military family, I know that politics should have no role in determining who is best qualified to lead our armed forces.
First concert I ever went to was a group called The Yardbirds. Eric Clapton is the lead guitarist.
On my team, we prioritize merits over politics.
My staff would probably tell you that I don't want to leave events very quickly, and they're always pushing me to get me out the door.
