KENOSHA, Wis. — Grace Allen is stepping into a larger statewide spotlight after being crowned Mrs. Southeast, earning the opportunity to represent the region at the upcoming Mrs. Wisconsin America Pageant.
Allen brings a unique blend of civic leadership and community advocacy to the competition. She currently serves as a City of Racine alderman and is a member of the Racine Unified School District School Board, roles that place her at the center of local decision-making affecting families, students, and neighborhoods across the city.
In addition to her elected offices, Allen is a professional lifestyle and wellness coach and educator. Her pageant platform, “The Whole Woman,” is focused on empowering women to strengthen their physical, mental, social, and financial well-being, a mission she says is shaped directly by what she sees in both her professional work and public service.
“In my line of work, I see how much women carry and how often we put our own needs at the bottom of the list,” Allen said. She explained that her decision to compete is about more than a title, emphasizing that self-care should be viewed as essential. “This isn’t just about a crown. It’s about reminding women that self-care is healthcare, and that when we care for our whole selves, we become even more impactful in our families and communities.”
Pageant Date & Details
According to information from the Wisconsin America Pageants organization, the 2026 Mrs. Wisconsin America Pageant is scheduled for Saturday, March 28, 2026. The event will crown titleholders who will go on to represent Wisconsin at the national Mrs. America Pageant later in the year.
The Mrs. Wisconsin America Pageant celebrates the contemporary married woman’s ability to balance family life, career, and community leadership. Allen’s advocacy centers on encouraging women to prioritize physical and mental health, foster strong social connections so they are not navigating challenges alone, and gain access to financial education that builds long-term confidence and stability.
As Mrs. Southeast, Allen said she looks forward to engaging with residents and local organizations throughout the region, using the platform to expand her work as an educator, coach, and elected official. She views the pageant as an opportunity to elevate the “Whole Woman” philosophy into a broader statewide conversation about empowerment, leadership, and resilience.
The winner of the Mrs. Wisconsin America Pageant will represent Wisconsin at the national Mrs. America competition later in 2026, a celebration of accomplished married women who serve as leaders and role models.

Hopefully she’s a better pageant queen than she is school board rep or alderman.
RUSD is a disaster, and Racine is the smelly armpit of Wisconsin. The only good thing about Racine is that it’s not Milwaukee.
It’s ironic that she cares about financial stability, because Racine’s outta control taxing shows anything but financial stability.
Easy on the eyes!!damn
What the hell is a lifestyle coach anyway? Fake career
She is beautiful!
Of course she was posted on this site, not because Kevin cares, it’s because he knew the whites would drag her in the mud & would you look a there.
She was extremely polite and sent me a press release asking me to post this so of course I said yes. To infer anything else is disingenuous and makes you look silly
Silly wasn’t the word that came to my mind. Very nice of you though to use it. God bless Kevin.
