Qadra Evans took home the Mrs. America title during the competition held at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort on September 3, 2026. The 46-year-old former Mrs. Montana and real estate professional earned the crown after preparing through intensive physical training and public speaking practice.
Why it matters
Evans, a former Denver Broncos cheerleader who holds a master's in clinical mental health counseling, uses her platform to advocate for greater representation of women in the construction trades and support opioid awareness through the Victoria's Voice foundation.
Women currently represent less than 3% of the on-site housing workforce, a statistic Evans aims to shift through her She Builds, She Belongs campaign. She will bring this advocacy to the international stage in January 2027.
