Lizzie Jensen has been named Miss North Dakota, taking over for Cara Mund, who was crowned Miss America earlier this month.

The Miss North Dakota Scholarship pageant announced Wednesday morning that Lizzie Jensen, 23, who was formerly Miss West Fargo, has been named Miss North Dakota 2017.

Jensen, a native of Stillwater, Minnesota, who attends Minnesota State Community and Technical College, is taking over for Cara Mund, who was named Miss America 2018 earlier this month.

Jensen's reign as Miss North Dakota will begin Monday with a visit to Williston.

Her platform issue is #IAmMore, which promotes Anti-Bullying and Self Worth.

In October, she will begin a statewide school tour to promote her message to students of all ages.

There will be an Official Coronation Ceremony in Williston during the Miss America Homecoming Celebration in November, with details forthcoming.
