In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate honoring the winners of the 2025 Miss Atlanta Competition, a scholarship pageant judged on talent, interview, and evening gown categories. It names six young women, Jordan Kulah, Megan Wright, Sarah Jane Houston, Landry Wolf, Melony Tidmore, and Madison Walker, who won titles such as Miss Atlanta 2026 and Miss Atlanta Teen 2026. The resolution states these winners will go on to represent greater Atlanta at the Miss Georgia and Miss Georgia Teen competitions in Columbus, Georgia, with a chance to advance nationally. It directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to each of the named winners. The resolution does not change any Georgia law; it is a formal expression of congratulations.
