Former Miss America Mallory Hagan will run for an Alabama House seat as a Democrat.

The 29-year-old on Tuesday announced on her website that she will run for Alabama's 3rd Congressional District, which is currently held by 16-year incumbent Rep. Mike Rogers (R).

(...)

Hagan, who was Miss New York 2012 and Miss America 2013, currently works as a news anchor for WLTZ 38 in Columbus, Ga.

(...)

Hagan joined two other former Miss Americas in calling on the pageant's CEO and other top officials to step down after leaked emails revealed them making disparaging and inappropriate comments about former pageant winners.

7. Unless Alabama get some relief from

Gerrymandering district it going to be almost impossible task for a Dem to win. If the the Douig Jones election had been decided by CD's he would have lost 8 to one.

9. Miss New York?

Not gonna play in Alabama

10. She is apparently an anchor on a GA TV station

where the media market appears to be western GA and eastern AL (where AL-3 is).

11. Yes, Columbus is right on the border with Alabama. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Yeah - I had actually looked it up to see where Columbus was with respect to AL-3.

Am guessing she may be (or will be) living in AL and commuting to the station.

12. She was born and raised in Alabama.

14. I never do understand how one enters beauty contests outside one's home state

But hey, if she's done it, more power to her

[7962]

15. Each contest has its residency requirments. She likely lived there for some time.

I have a friend who has been "Miss _______" of 3 different cities

16. Nice... She'll do!

17. AL-3

This district goes as far north as Calhoun County (Anniston, Jacksonville, Oxford). A good deal of it is in the Birmingham TV Market #45 and a small part of Montgomery #127. Columbus is #123 and that includes Lee County, home of Auburn and Opelika (WDE).
