Personal life
Railsback was born September 8, 1995, in Overland Park, Kansas to John and Robin Railsback and is of Mexican and German descent. She has a twin sister, Ashley, and a younger brother, Jordan. She attended Shawnee Mission West High School and graduated from Shawnee Mission Northwest High School in May 2014. She attends Johnson County Community College.
Pageant career
Railsback was a semifinalist in Miss Kansas Teen USA 2014 and 4th runner-up to Miss Kansas Teen USA 2013. She was crowned Miss Kansas USA 2015 in November 2014. In June 2015 she represented the state of Kansas in Miss USA 2015 pageant, where she was the youngest contestant.
When NBC, Univision and Telemundo pulled their coverage of the event, following pageant co-owner Donald Trump's derogatory comments about Mexicans, Railsback, a third generation Mexican-American was quoted in the Kansas City Star and repeated in Newsweek:
I think it’s really unfortunate and kind of unfair that the Miss USA pageant is kind of taking the brunt for Donald Trump’s speech. That’s a personal decision that he made to make that speech and to run for president, and I don’t think it is really related to the pageant in any way, other than the fact that he is the co-owner.
