A Night Out With Miss America

FishbowlDC caught up with Miss America Katie Stam at last night’s Washington Press Club Foundation Congressional Dinner. A guest of CQ, Miss America was certainly the center of attention at the Ritz, taking hundreds of pictures with congressmen and journalists.

Stam actually aspires to be a broadcast journalist herself, though she says (with a smile, of course) everyone she’s met in the industry on her media tour so far tells her, “don’t do it!” She loved to anchor in Minneapolis (Indiana is home), but says “being around politics intrigues me.”

So would she want to work in DC? “I’m keeping all my options open,” she says.
