Miss District of Columbia All American 2025

Washington, DC

McKenna Simpson proudly serves as Miss District of Columbia All American 2025, representing the nation’s capital with grace, ambition, and a passion for service. A graduate of The Ohio State University with a bachelor’s degree in Fashion & Retail Studies and a minor in Business, McKenna furthered her education at Georgetown University, earning a Master of Public Policy. She aspires to launch her own nonprofit that champions creative arts access for youth, encouraging them to pursue artistic careers and use the arts as a powerful tool to prevent at-risk youth from entering the juvenile justice system.

Dedicated to giving back, McKenna has volunteered with the USO, welcoming service members arriving at Washington National Airport and assembling care packages for troops stationed overseas. She believes deeply in honoring those who serve and in building strong communities through acts of kindness. Her volunteerism reflects her belief that real change begins with compassion in action.

When she’s not working or volunteering, McKenna loves photography, dancing, and traveling — always looking for new ways to connect with the beauty and diversity of the world around her. These passions fuel her creativity and remind her to see opportunity and possibility everywhere, a mindset she hopes to share with others.

During her reign, McKenna plans to use her title to champion the creative arts, support veterans and active-duty military members, and shine a spotlight on local events and organizations in D.C. She’s passionate about inspiring young women to chase their dreams boldly, reminding them their ambitions matter and have real purpose. McKenna is committed to making a lasting impact by showing how leadership, creativity, and heart together can spark meaningful change.
