U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senator Tim Sheehy (R – Mont.) issued the following statement after being appointed to the United States Naval Academy Board of Visitors by President Donald J. Trump:

“This is a great honor, thank you President Trump! I stand ready to deliver and lead with the highest ideals of duty, honor, and loyalty. Together we will make America strong again!”
