It would have been news worthy if Congressman Harris nominated his own daughter, but he didn't.
If Congressman's Harris' daughter really wanted to attend Naval Academy, being a daughter of Congressman could have hurt her because she didn't get a nomination from her Congressional district. We don't know for sure if she decide not to apply to her father to avoid the perception of nepotism, her father told her to not apply, or she applied but wasn't nominated.
