Auburn’s Devanni Partridge, the reigning Miss Washington, needs your help. As she prepares for compete in next month’s Miss America Pageant, Partridge’s camp hopes to collect as many online votes as possible.

You can help Partridge in her pursuit to become the first woman from Washington to win that title by going to www.greentwithtamara.com/vote/, and submit your vote by selecting Washington. The system only accepts one vote per computer.

Devanni Partridge is only the second Auburn woman to win the Miss Washington crown.
