In a recent session of the Louisiana Senate held on June 10, 2025, members welcomed Catherine McCullers, the reigning Miss Louisiana Stock Show, to the chamber. McCullers, a senior marketing major at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, has a notable background in pageantry, having previously held the title of Miss Dixie Stock Show and placing in the top 10 of the Miss Louisiana competition.

During her time at ULM, McCullers has actively participated in various organizations, including serving as vice president of the Society for Human Resource Management and as a social media ambassador for the university. Her involvement extends to the marketing club and the ULM concert choir, where she showcases her vocal talents. McCullers is set to represent her community with her initiative, "Find Your Fit," at the upcoming Miss Louisiana pageant in Monroe later this month.

The introduction of McCullers highlights the intersection of community engagement and youth representation in Louisiana. Her achievements not only reflect personal success but also serve as an inspiration for young people in the state. As she prepares for the state pageant, the Senate members expressed their support and best wishes for her endeavors.

Following this welcoming, the Senate moved on to discuss Senate Bill 121, introduced by Senator Sellers, indicating a shift towards legislative matters that will likely impact the state's governance and policies. The meeting underscores the importance of recognizing local figures while also addressing legislative responsibilities, reflecting a balance between community celebration and governance.
