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

State Representative Monica Robb Blasdel (R-New Waterford) 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. 

“We pair the legacy of Ohio’s history with a skilled manufacturing workforce, a strong network of military installations, and a proven record of aerospace innovation,” said Robb Blasdel. “Bringing the U.S. Space Force Academy to Ohio would open new doors for young people all across our great state, and I am proud to join my colleagues in making that case.”

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.
