The 2025 Miss Maine pageant is set to showcase Bill Belichick’s 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, as she vies for the crown after coming in second place last year. However, early fan voting hints that Hudson might not be a front-runner. As of now, she only has a little over 220 votes in the online poll, where the public can cast their votes for $1 each. The model who secures the most online votes will not only bag the People’s Choice Award but will also secure a spot in the pageant’s semifinals.
In the current standings, Hudson trails behind Isabelle St. Cyr who boasts over 440 votes. St. Cyr is making history as the first transgender model to compete in the Miss Maine competition, having previously clinched the crown in the local Miss Monson USA pageant in Monson, Maine. St. Cyr shared her journey on Facebook, recounting the challenges she faced in cheerleading and how she overcame them to become a successful cheerleader, inspiring others along the way.
The ongoing conflict in Maine surrounding the participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports has put the state at odds with the federal government. Governor Janet Mills and education officials have taken a firm stance in favor of trans inclusion despite pressure from the Trump administration, leading to a lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice against the state.
Hudson, on the other hand, is competing to represent Maine’s fishing families, having experienced the bankruptcy of her family’s fishing business in her childhood. She aims to advocate for the preservation of Maine’s fishing traditions and to prevent others from facing the same challenges her family endured. Unfortunately, the Maine online voting page crashed on a Saturday afternoon, leaving the updated results unknown. However, before the crash, University of Southern Maine student Lexi Bjork was leading the online vote with over 1,400 votes.
Not really sure why this matters, but it seems like the Miss Maine pageant is shaping up to be quite the competition. With Hudson, St. Cyr, and Bjork in the running, the outcome remains uncertain. Keep following Fox News Digital for more updates on the sports scene.
