Wyoming America Queens

 Brandi Krugler serves as Mrs. Wyoming America 2026, representing her state with vulnerability, faith, and a deep commitment to service. Her journey of serving Wyoming began long before she stepped onto a pageant stage. As a police officer, she dedicated her career to protecting her community and standing beside people during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Today, Brandi serves her state in a different way. As a therapist and nonprofit founder, she has dedicated her life to helping first responders and their families navigate the realities of trauma,mental health, and healing. Through private practice and her nonprofit, SHIFT (Supporting Heroes, Individuals, Families, and Teams), she works to ensure that the people who spend their lives caring for others have access to the support, resources, and community they deserve.

Her platform, Beyond Survival, rooted in service and is shaped by lived experience. After walking through trauma, loss, and seasons she wasn’t sure she would survive, Brandi chose to do something unexpected with her pain. She turned toward it. Beyond Survival is a belief that people can use what happened to them to create a life of deeper meaning and purpose because of the pain.

At home, Brandi shares life with her husband, Carl who is also a first responder, and their two year old son, Calvin. She has a beautiful stepdaughter Brenae, and grandchildren Tate and Ellie. She spends her spare time weight lifting (she can leg press a grizzly bear) elk hunting with her husband, and writing stories for her future book. When she wants to have fun you will find Brandi singing in a band somewhere in Casper.

As Mrs. Wyoming America 2026, Brandi is honored to represent the people of Wyoming. She believes some of the most important conversations are also the hardest ones to have, and that healing often begins when people feel safe enough to tell the truth about what they’re carrying. By choosing to live her story out loud, Brandi hopes to create space for those conversations while encouraging others to embrace their own journey with courage. Her life is a joyful rebellion against the darkness that once tried to stop it, and her mission is to remind others that no matter what they have faced, there is life beyond survival.
