  Somewhere along the way, so many women quietly ask themselves, Who am I outside of the roles I carry? I'm a wife, a mom of two, and I work full-time while representing New Hampshire on the Miss USA stage. Becoming a mother has been the greatest gift of my life, but it also reminded me how easy it is to lose sight of the woman you were before everyone needed you. That realization inspired my initiative, More Than a Mama, encouraging women to rediscover themselves without guilt and remember they're allowed to pursue something simply because it matters to them. Whether that's taking a dance class, performing in my first waterski show, or saying "yes" to themselves again, I want women to know that who they are is never lost, it's simply waiting to be reimagined. Being in the Top 20 at Miss USA would allow this message to reach women who may need that reminder today. If my story resonates with you, I'd be honored to have your vote.

  We made it to Round 3! The last two weeks have been a whirlwind, and I can't thank you enough for every vote, share, comment, and message of support. Because of you, we've made it this far. But we're not done yet. We have one week left of public voting before the judges' round, and this final stretch matters more than ever. Every vote, free or paid, helps move me one step closer. We've come too far to stop now. One more week. One more push. Let's make it count. Thank you for believing in me and being part of this journey. Follow along on Instagram @sammlabonne for the final stretch!
