The resolution serves as a formal recognition from the Wisconsin Legislature, which may enhance the visibility of her initiatives and potentially influence public perception regarding women's roles in STEM fields.

Summary

Senate Joint Resolution 64 (SJR64) was introduced in the 2023-2024 legislative session in Wisconsin, primarily to congratulate Grace Stanke for her achievement as Miss America 2023. The resolution recognizes Stanke not only for winning the title but also for her significant accomplishments, including being the third Wisconsin woman to hold the title.
