1/23/13 - Newly-elected Congressman Kerry Bentivolio of Milford says that residents of the 11th District who may have applied for â or were told they were nominated for â one of the military service academies, should get in touch with him as soon as possible. The former Fowlerville school teacher says his office has not received any applications or nominations from the staffs of previous congressmen that have represented the district. The Republican took office earlier this month after a seven-week term by Belleville Democrat David Curson, who served out the remainder of the term for former Congressman Thaddeus McCotter. McCotter resigned in July amid a petition signature scandal. Bentivolio says that the application deadline has either passed or will soon expire for the nationâs service academies, and anyone interested in applying for nomination needs to do so by January 31st. Details are available on his official website and a link is posted below. The 11th District comprises northwestern Wayne and southwestern Oakland counties, including Milford and South Lyon. (JK/JM)
