McGuire’s journey doesn’t end here; she will go on to represent the states on the international stage at the Miss International competition in Japan.
“Maddie is a wonderful young woman who has worked her way up from model to beauty queen in our area,” Jacqueline Garcia, CEO of Bazaar Model Management and director of Miss El Paso USA, said. “She represents with integrity, compassion, leadership, and carries El Paso in her heart. Watching her capture the national title has been an unforgettable moment for her family and our team, who has believed in her journey.”
According to the news release, McGuire first captured the hearts of El Paso and the reigning Miss El Paso USA, “becoming a role model for young women throughout the Borderland.”
Now, as the crowned Miss U.S. International, McGuire hopes to use her year of service to promote leadership through community involvement and hold community workouts. One of her programs, “Let’s Move El Paso,” and “Let’s Move America” are charitable initiatives she began in El Paso.
The 64th Miss International 2026 will take place on Nov. 25 at the Tokyo Dome City Hall.
