A former Miss America, Cara Mund, has launched an independent bid for the U.S. House in her home state of North Dakota. She says the Supreme Court’s abortion decision was “just a moment where I knew we need more women in office.”

Mund’s stance on abortion runs contrary to North Dakota’s active evangelical conservatives. But the issue could draw votes from endorsed candidates from both parties, and it especially could be a spoiler for Haugen, a Roman Catholic who opposes abortion.Armstrong, an ardent supporter of former President Donald Trump and the former state GOP party chairman, said Mund appears to have all the trappings of a Democrat.

“Seems like people pretty high up in Democratic politics are excited about it,” Armstrong said about Mund’s attempt to get in the race. “It doesn’t change anything we are doing.” Mund is seeking to present herself as independent of Republicans and Democrats, a candidate with the public’s best interest in mind who would seek common ground. She believes she would appeal to a large portion of the electorate who are fed up with the two-party system that controls politics.Even with no party apparatus for support, Mund is a known entity in North Dakota and is known for speaking her mind.

She won the Miss North Dakota crown on a platform of increasing the number of women elected to political office. At Miss America in 2017, she saidbullied and silenced by leaders within the Miss America organization.Mund said win or lose, she intends to stay in North Dakota and someday raise a family. She took the state bar exam recently and is awaiting the results.

She intends to keep pursing public office if she loses, and looks at the House run as a personal challenge, if daunting.

She sounds a heck of a lot better policy-wise than the incumbent, a huge T-rumpster. For y'all who noticed the photo edit, my sincerest lack of congratulations.

Fire your Tweet pic poster: she's running for office, not posing for 'Miss America.'

Please change the photo AP. This is beyond unprofessional.

The majority of those who affirm the human rights of children in utero are women and it isn't even close. Abortion benefits men and there's no shortage of bro-choice men who enjoy its perks and convenience
