2019 bio:

After three years, Miss Kansas USA 2019 Alyssa Klinzing will graduate this May with a degree in political science, and her eyes are focused on the White House. As a lifetime member of Girl Scouts, this 21-year-old knows the importance of having women represented in politics and leadership roles across the nation. Alyssa wishes to educate citizens across the country on the voting process so that the 2020 presidential election can see record-breaking participation. Alyssa enjoys being a part-time resident of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle in Disneyland, as it gives her a chance to get lost in the land of imagination with children who experience their first “magic moment.” As a domestic abuse survivor, Alyssa also hopes to reach young children across the United States to share her story and encourage kids to never let go of their dreams.
