State Representative Angie King Supports Effort to Bring U.S. Space Force Academy to Ohio
COLUMBUS – State Representative Angie King (R-Celina) has signed a letter to Governor DeWine, advocating for Ohio to become the future home of the U.S. Space Force Academy.
“Ohio’s legacy in aviation and space exploration is deeply personal to the people I represent. Our district is home to the Armstrong Air & Space Museum, which preserves the remarkable story of district native Neil Armstrong and inspires new generations to reach higher,” said Representative King. “Bringing the U.S. Space Force Academy to Ohio would build upon that legacy while investing in the next generation of American leadership, innovation, and national defense. There is no better place than the great state of Ohio to prepare those who will lead America’s future in space.”
The letter, co-signed by Speaker Matt Huffman (R-Lima) and members of the House Republican Caucus, emphasizes Ohio’s rich history of aerospace pioneers like Neil Armstrong and John Glenn, alongside the state’s strong leadership in innovation and military partnerships.
This initiative follows Senator Bernie Moreno’s recent call for Ohio officials to enlist support for establishing the U.S. Space Force Academy in Dayton, known as the birthplace of aviation. You can read the full release here.
