A personal message from Maggie (posted on Instagram):
Words cannot even express how full my heart is right now. My Miss America experience has been more than I could have ever asked for or imagined. I love my class, my fans, friends and family who all supported and loved me through this journey! It’s been a wild ride, but I’m so excited to head back to Georgia in the morning to be your Miss Georgia for the rest of my year. Our new #MissAmerica is AMAZING— so be sure to support and love her this year! Also @ChrisBHarrison told me I was beautiful, so honestly, I need to just quit while I’m ahead, right?! Love all of y’all! Peace out✌️✌️✌️
