Mallory Hagan
Audiences will be inspired to participate in the political process because Mallory expands their understanding of the political arena, builds confidence, and motivates people to take action.
Mallory Hagan is a native of Opelika, Alabama. Upon completing one year at Auburn University, Mallory packed her bags, bought a one-way ticket and moved to New York City— with no job, no place to live, and no NYC friends.
Fast forward through Times Square waitressing, and struggling to make ends meet, Mallory won the title of Miss New York 2012 in an effort to gain scholarship dollars to attend school at The Fashion Institute of Technology. In January of 2013, she became the first Miss New York to win Miss America since Vanessa Williams.
In 2013, Mallory was the fourth Miss New York to earn the coveted title of Miss America in Las Vegas, Nevada and a $50,000 scholarship to continue her education. In an instant, she became a national icon and spokesperson for the Miss America Organization, its various sponsors, and Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, visiting many of the CMNH partner hospitals across the nation.
In her eight months as Miss America, Mallory traveled nearly 20,000 miles a month championing for her personal platform, Stop it Now: Child Sexual Abuse. In her travels, she had the opportunity to speak with local and national media outlets, address audiences of all ages, and lobby on Capitol Hill with the National Children's Alliance to restore national funding for America's Child Advocacy Centers. Mallory joined forces with the likes of Prevent Child Abuse America, Safe Horizon, Stop it Now and the International Center for Missing and Exploited Children to spread the message that prevention is, in fact, possible.
In 2016, Mallory joined the news team at WLTZ First News NBC 38 in Columbus, Georgia. She covered community events, sports, breaking news and elections over the course of 18 months, until her anchor days were interrupted by Alabamian’s who were eager for representation in Washington, D.C.
On February 6, 2018, Mallory announced her candidacy for Alabama’s 3rd congressional district. For nine months, Mallory worked tirelessly to bring awareness to the issues facing Alabamians and Americans. She ran a successful campaign and increased district voter turnout by 57% in the General Election. In 2022, Mallory ran for office again. This time, for Alabama State House District 25.
Now, Mallory works in the political arena as a fundraising and communications specialist. In addition, she serves on the board and remains involved in organizations focused on activism and representation.
