Erica Dann of [[San Francisco]] was crowned Miss California USA 2019 on January 27, 2019 at Arcadia Performing Arts Center in [[Arcadia, California|Arcadia]]. She represented California for the title of Miss USA 2019 on May 2, 2019 in [[Reno, Nevada]].
==History==
The Miss California USA Pageant was produced by Carolee Munger. Prior to Ms. Munger, Guyrex Productions held the franchise for a number of years and produced successful televised pageants with over 100 participants. Before Guyrex, the pageant was produced by Dr. Leanord Stallcup, who took over the directorship after Faye Smith successfully led the way through the 1970s and 1980s. Also was produced by Top 10 Productions, Inc. San Diego-based. Top 10 was led by Pam Wilson and Alex Kuty, who have been involved in pageant and fashion production for many years. Top 10 took over for K2 Productions in 2013. K2 had a number of controversies but during its 9 years producing the pageant, it managed to be the top placing state at Miss USA, growing the entry numbers to the largest state pageant in the history of Miss USA and doing the first live television airing in over 10 years. In the beginning, K2 Productions was directed by former [[Miss Teen USA 1995]], [[Keylee Sue Sanders]], and Keith Lewis. K2 Productions was later directed by Lewis and briefly co-produced by [[Miss USA 1995]], [[Shanna Moakler]].
In 2009 [[Carrie Prejean]] was forced to resign after placing 1st runner-up at [[Miss USA 2009]] after a [[Miss USA 2009 same-sex marriage controversy|controversy]] developed regarding the answer she gave to her final interview question at the national pageant.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|url=https://www.today.com/style/carrie-prejean-stripped-miss-california-title-wbna31210117|title=Carrie Prejean stripped of Miss California title|last=|first=|date=11 June 2009|work=Today|access-date=}}</ref> Pageant organisers claimed she was fired due to contractual violations.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/11/us/11pageant.html|title=Donald Trump Fires Miss California|last=McKinley|first=Jesse|date=10 June 2009|work=|access-date=}}</ref>
California has produced a Miss USA every decade (except the 2000s) and is ranked second highest among states in terms of placements, after Texas.
[[Shauna Gambill]], who won the national [[Miss Teen USA]] crown in [[Miss Teen USA 1994|1994]], is the only Miss California USA who has previously held the Miss California Teen USA title. As Miss California USA in 1998, Gambill placed 1st Runner-Up to [[Shawnae Jebbia]] of [[Miss Massachusetts USA|Massachusetts]]. Three Miss California USA titleholders have also competed in the [[Miss America]] pageant while two were former winners of the Miss Teenage California Scholarship Pageant.

The pageant has been held every year since 1952. Host locations have included [[Oxnard, California|Oxnard]], [[Palm Springs, California|Palm Springs]], and [[Long Beach, California|Long Beach]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/17190806/|title=New rules make runner-up in beauty contest a winner|last=Gladstone|first=Mark|date=10 January 1983|work=The Los Angeles Times|access-date=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/17190465/|title=Countdown begins for title quest|last=Russell|first=Kelle|date=29 July 1988|work=The Desert Sun|access-date=}}</ref>

==History==
The Miss California USA Pageant was produced by Ligma Prior to Ms. Munger, Guyrex Productions held the franchise for a number of years and produced successful televised pageants with over 100 participants. Before Guyrex, the pageant was produced by Dr. Leanord Stallcup, who took over the directorship after Faye Smith successfully led the way through the 1970s and 1980s. Also was produced by Top 10 Productions, Inc. San Diego-based. Top 10 was led by Pam Wilson and Alex Kuty, who have been involved in pageant and fashion production for many years. Top 10 took over for K2 Productions in 2013. K2 had a number of controversies but during its 9 years producing the pageant, it managed to be the top placing state at Miss USA, growing the entry numbers to the largest state pageant in the history of Miss USA and doing the first live television airing in over 10 years. In the beginning, K2 Productions was directed by former [[Miss Teen USA 1995]], [[Keylee Sue Sanders]], and Keith Lewis. K2 Productions was later directed by Lewis and briefly co-produced by [[Miss USA 1995]], [[Shanna Moakler]].
In 2009 [[Carrie Prejean]] was forced to resign after placing 1st runner-up at [[Miss USA 2009]] after a [[Miss USA 2009 same-sex marriage controversy|controversy]] developed regarding the answer she gave to her final interview question at the national pageant.<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|url=https://www.today.com/style/carrie-prejean-stripped-miss-california-title-wbna31210117|title=Carrie Prejean stripped of Miss California title|last=|first=|date=11 June 2009|work=Today|access-date=}}</ref> Pageant organisers claimed she was fired due to contractual violations.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/11/us/11pageant.html|title=Donald Trump Fires Miss California|last=McKinley|first=Jesse|date=10 June 2009|work=|access-date=}}</ref>
California has produced a Miss USA every decade (except the 2000s) and is ranked second highest among states in terms of placements, after Texas.
[[Shauna Gambill]], who won the national [[Miss Teen USA]] crown in [[Miss Teen USA 1994|1994]], is the only Miss California USA who has previously held the Miss California Teen USA title. As Miss California USA in 1998, Gambill placed 1st Runner-Up to [[Shawnae Jebbia]] of [[Miss Massachusetts USA|Massachusetts]]. Three Miss California USA titleholders have also competed in the [[Miss America]] pageant while two were former winners of the Miss Teenage California Scholarship Pageant.

==History==
-The Miss California USA Pageant was produced by Carolee Munger. Prior to Ms. Munger, Guyrex Productions held the franchise for a number of years and produced successful televised pageants with over 100 participants. Before Guyrex, the pageant was produced by Dr. Leanord Stallcup, who took over the directorship after Faye Smith successfully led the way through the 1970s and 1980s. Also was produced by Top 10 Productions, Inc. San Diego-based. Top 10 was led by Pam Wilson and Alex Kuty, who have been involved in pageant and fashion production for many years. Top 10 took over for K2 Productions in 2013. K2 had a number of controversies but during its 9 years producing the pageant, it managed to be the top placing state at Miss USA, growing the entry numbers to the largest state pageant in the history of Miss USA and doing the first live television airing in over 10 years. In the beginning, K2 Productions was directed by former [[Miss Teen USA 1995]], [[Keylee Sue Sanders]], and Keith Lewis. K2 Productions was later directed by Lewis and briefly co-produced by [[Miss USA 1995]], [[Shanna Moakler]].
