The New Miss America Savvy Shields expressed her clear vision of what she hopes America will look like at the end of her term next year and said that, “I hope that at the end of my year, we’re starting to reward politicians for compromise.”
Answering a question that what she thought of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton during her onstage, she said that, both Clinton and Republican Donald Trump have done a good job thus far, “they also need to watch what they’re doing.” Earlier, Shields represented Arkansas in the pageant.
“What I want both candidates to focus on is compromise. Our country was founded on compromise. We’re in a state now where both parties just seem to be yelling at one another,” she said.
Ms. Shields will take the traditional romp in the surf on the beach in Atlantic City across from Boardwalk Hall on Monday morning. It is a ritual in which the newly crowned Miss America skips along the beach as shallow waves roll in, jumps in the air, and poses for the first of the countless thousands of photos in which she will star over the next year.
“If you’re trying to be leader of the free world, everything you say and do matters and all of your actions are held to a higher standard.” “Both of the contestants have done a good job, but they also need to watch what they’re doing,” Ms. Shields said.
Ms. Shields is an art major at the University of Arkansas who wants to help people make better food choices. Her secret dream is to be a backup dancer for Beyoncş.
The runners-up were as follows Fourth runner-up, Miss Mississippi Laura Lee Lewis, third runner-up, Miss Washington Alicia Cooper, second runner-up Miss New York Camille Sims, first runner-up Miss South Carolina Rachel Wyatt.
Ms. Shields topped a field of 52 contestants to win the crown and the title of Miss America 2017, succeeding the outgoing Miss America Betty Cantrell. The top 15 finalists were Kentucky, Washington, Massachusetts, Arkansas, South Carolina, Idaho, Iowa, Texas, California, Oklahoma, Maryland, New York, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
