The Arizona America Pageants have officially crowned their 2026 state titleholders, celebrating three accomplished women whose passion for service, leadership and advocacy will represent Arizona on the national stage throughout the coming year.
During the annual competition at the Herberger Theater Center, Lexy Romano Condon of Phoenix was named Mrs. Arizona America 2026, Allison Thomison of Pearce earned the title of Mrs. Arizona AmeriCAN 2026, and Abby Charles won Miss Arizona for America. Chosen from a talented field of contestants from across the state, all three will spend the next year serving as Arizona ambassadors while promoting causes close to their hearts.
As Mrs. Arizona America 2026, Romano Condon will go on to represent Arizona at the prestigious Mrs. America Pageant. Throughout her reign, she will shine a spotlight on her platform, Hearts for Arts, an initiative that encourages greater access to arts education and celebrates the role creative expression plays in enriching lives and strengthening communities.
Through appearances and outreach efforts across Arizona, she hopes to inspire individuals and organizations to invest in the arts as a meaningful way to foster education, creativity and connection.
Thomison, who was crowned Mrs. Arizona AmeriCAN 2026, will represent the state at the Mrs. AmeriCAN Pageant while championing her platform, Control Alt Delete, in partnership with ControlAltDelete.org. Her advocacy focuses on helping survivors of domestic violence rebuild their lives by connecting them with technology resources, support services and opportunities to regain independence. Throughout her year of service, she plans to raise awareness and expand community support for those seeking a fresh start.
“Our titleholders are remarkable women who embody the spirit of service, resilience, and leadership,” said Diane Ritter, State Director of the Arizona America Pageants. “Lexy and Allison each bring unique talents, experiences, and passions to their roles. They are already making a meaningful impact in their communities, and I am excited to watch them expand that impact across Arizona and on the national stage.”
While pageantry is certainly part of the experience, organizers emphasize that the Arizona America Pageants are rooted in personal growth, leadership development and community engagement. The organization encourages women to build confidence, develop lifelong friendships and make a positive impact through volunteerism and advocacy.
That mission expanded in 2020 with the addition of the Mrs. AmeriCAN title. Recognizing the depth of talent and leadership among contestants nationwide, the creators of the Mrs. America Pageant introduced a second state title, allowing another outstanding woman to represent her community while competing alongside Mrs. America contestants during the national pageant week.
Abby Charles, the reigning Miss Arizona for America, will represent Arizona at the national Miss for America competition in Las Vegas, with finals set for September 1, 2026. Supporters can vote for Charles through the competition’s People’s Choice vote, with proceeds benefiting Victoria’s Voice Foundation, which focuses on substance-use prevention, drug education, naloxone awareness and overdose prevention.
A University of Arizona graduate in Nutritional Sciences and Dietetics, Charles is also the founder of AZ PR & Events and promotes mentorship and relationship-building through her “Network to Net-Worth” platform. Raised in Tucson and now based in Scottsdale, she hopes her national journey will showcase Arizona while inspiring others to build connections that create confidence, opportunity and long-term success.
Romano Condon, Thomison and Charles will participate in charitable initiatives, appearances, events and outreach programs as they prepare for their respective national competitions. Learn more at Mrs. Arizona America or by following @lexyromano_; @allithomison and @theabbycharles on Instagram.
