The Miss Pennsylvania USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Pennsylvania in the Miss USA pageant.
Michele McDonald (1971) is Pennsylvania's only Miss USA so far. At only eighteen, she was one of the youngest competitors ever to win the crown. Apart from that victory, Pennsylvania has had only moderate success at Miss USA in terms of number of semi-finalists. Their most recent placement came in 2010 when Gina Cerilli made the top 15.

“The Republican Party does not perceive how many his failure will make to vote more correctly than they would have them.
