Cumberland County's Kylie Gene Wright wins Miss New Jersey crown
Kylie Gene Wright brought Cumberland County the Miss New Jersey 2026 crown at Ocean City's Music Pier, adding $26,000 in scholarships and a Stockton path.
Kylie Gene Wright brought Cumberland County the Miss New Jersey 2026 crown at Ocean City's Music Pier, after competing as Miss Cumberland County. The 20-year-old Egg Harbor Township resident also won an in-kind scholarship to Stockton University and an additional $26,000 in scholarships.
The Miss New Jersey Organization identifies Wright as a Business Administration student planning to attend Stockton. It also says she is an instructor and manager at Amerikick Karate Studio, a second-degree black belt and a former collegiate wrestler, a combination that puts academics, discipline and work at the center of her profile.
For Cumberland County, the win gives Vineland, Bridgeton, Millville and Commercial Township a name on a state stage. The county is more often associated with politics, crime or municipal strain, so Wright's title shifts attention to a 20-year-old South Jersey representative who reached the top of a competition held in Ocean City in June.
The crown also links a local student-athlete profile to a statewide title. As Miss New Jersey 2026, Wright now carries Cumberland County's name into a role built on public visibility, and her scholarship support ties that visibility to college plans at Stockton rather than a one-night celebration.
