There's a new Miss New York in town.

Yes, that's four in two years.

Mason assumed the title of Miss New York 2013 following the crowning of Nina Davuluri as Miss America 2014. 

Mason placed first runner-up at the Miss New York state competition this past July, and will spend the coming year as the official representative of the Miss New York Scholarship Organization. She will advocate her personal platform, The Middle School Movement.
