Much has been made of Sarah's entry in the beauty pageant scene. She came in 3rd in the Miss Alaska pageant in 1984, after winning the Miss Wasilla contest. She also picked up the Miss Congeniality award. Her pageant winnings financed her college degree.
After a couple of TV sports anchor jobs, Sarah started to become involved in local politics. She served two terms as the mayor of Wasilla. Following an unsuccesful run for Lieutenant Governor, she served on the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. She was elected Governor of Alaska in 2006.
