Karrington True Honored on Kentucky House and Senate Floors

FRANKFORT, KY – Karrington True, Miss Monticello 2025, made history as the first Miss Monticello to be formally recognized on both the Kentucky State House and Senate floors. Representative Ken Upchurch proudly introduced Karrington in the Kentucky House of Representatives, while Senator Rick Girdler honored her on the Senate floor, marking a significant moment for Monticello and Wayne County.

Earlier in the day, Karrington had the opportunity to meet with both Representative Upchurch and Senator Girdler to discuss key issues close to her heart. Their conversations allowed her to share about Supporting Heroes, a nonprofit dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifice of fallen first responders, as well as the Miss America Opportunity and its impact on young women across the nation. Karrington also spoke about her vision for a stronger Kentucky, emphasizing the importance of supporting first responders, fostering leadership opportunities for young women, and strengthening community service initiatives across the Commonwealth.

"It was an incredible honor to stand on the House and Senate floors and be recognized by Representative Upchurch and Senator Girdler," said Karrington. "Having the chance to discuss the importance of Supporting Heroes, the Miss America Opportunity, and my vision for a stronger Kentucky with our state leaders made the experience even more meaningful. I am grateful for their time, support, and commitment to public safety and community engagement."

As Miss Monticello, Karrington is committed to advocacy, service, and community leadership. She looks forward to continuing her work across the Commonwealth, raising awareness for first responders, and championing opportunities for young women through the Miss Kentucky Scholarship Organization and Miss America Opportunity.
