“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize your new Miss America, our very own Miss Arkansas, Savvy Shields. On Sunday night, Savvy became the third Miss Arkansas--and the second from the Third District of Arkansas--to win this prestigious title, receiving a preliminary talent award as well. Savvy will spend her year of service traveling across the Nation as an advocate for not only her charitable platform of ``Eat Better, Live Better,'' but also the Children's Miracle Network. In this way, Savvy will continue her work as an advocate for healthy eating as a way to dramatically change health outcomes in our communities. I speak on behalf of the Third District and the State of Arkansas in congratulating Savvy on representing her hometown of Fayetteville, the University of Arkansas, and the entire ``Natural State'' so well on the national stage. I would like to also congratulate Savvy's parents, Todd and Karen Shields, on the beginning of what will truly be a remarkable year. Savvy will represent all of us with the grace, poise, and confidence that earned her this crown. Congratulations, Savvy, Miss America 2017. ____________________”
