                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RICHARD HUDSON

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 24, 2015

  Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and congratulate 
Elizabeth Scott Safrit, a constituent from Kannapolis, North Carolina, 
who placed 3rd in the 64th Miss World pageant on December 14, 2014, in 
London, England.
   Elizabeth represented North Carolina in the Miss United States 
Pageant last year, and upon winning qualified to represent our country 
in the Miss World competition.
   The 130 Miss World contestants were judged not only on beauty but 
also on physical fitness, modeling, social media skills, interview 
skills, and their philanthropy project, called ``Beauty with a 
Purpose.''
   Elizabeth represented the United States well, finishing first in the 
multimedia portion of the competition. She ultimately was crowned 2nd 
Princess, a 3rd overall finish in the 2014 Miss World pageant, thereby 
receiving the additional title of Miss World Americas.
   So far, Elizabeth has served admirably as Miss United States. She 
has traveled across the country promoting ``Save the Children'', 
advocating for the welfare of children, and has also served as a 
spokesperson for ``Rock the Vote.'' She will travel much of the world 
as Miss World Americas.
   Her parents, Walter and Lynne Safrit, who I know well, along with 
Elizabeth's extended family and friends, are very proud of her 
accomplishments.
   It is a great honor and privilege to extend these congratulatory 
remarks to an inspiring young lady who represents Kannapolis, North 
Carolina's 8th District, North Carolina, and the United States 
worldwide in her role as Miss United States and Miss World Americas.
