* She won. Fox 32…
A Homer Glen village trustee is the new Mrs. America.
Nicole La Ha Zwiercan won the crown Saturday night in Las Vegas, competing against 51 national contestants.
Earlier this year, FOX 32 spoke with her about her efforts to make Homer Glen more inclusive for individuals with disabilities. Zwiercan’s five-year-old daughter Ashlynn was born with cerebral palsy. Zwiercan has encouraged the village to make three public playgrounds more accessible.
Zwiercan will compete in the Mrs. World pageant this December in Las Vegas.

Roadrager: Seriously?

Roadrager - You should be ashamed of yourself.
- Joe Schmoe - Tuesday, Aug 23, 22 @ 10:08 am:
A pox on Roadrager for totally tasteless comments.

==doesn’t seem like something a state-level Republican would be doing==
At least she didn’t pull a Sanguinetti and sue the city.

Congratulations to Mrs. La Ha Zweircan. She is a voice for the disabled in the Republican camp and she looks fabulous. Sweeten up Roadrager, think positive. It feels better (smiling emoji).

I didn’t know this was still a thing. Mrs. America seems like such an anachronism.

@Roadrager - Are you aware that Nicole’s employer is in a wheelchair? How could you possibly say he has an established stance against accessibility when he fights for it on a daily basis? Get a grip.

I’ll put aside my feelings on pageants in general and just say congrats. She has a very interesting narrative.

Congrats. Because I support her right to make the choice to do something even if I think it is ridiculous and damaging to women to continue such lookist competitions.

First I laughed — then I nodded.

Well played, Amalia. And exactly right. Not my thing, but whatever.
