WASHINGTON, D.C. (Jan. 23, 2026) – Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace introduced the No Tax on Boat Loan Interest Act of 2026, legislation to strengthen South Carolina's marine manufacturing industry and put money back in the pockets of our state's boating families.

I've called for accountability from judges, prosecutors, and attorney generals for a long time.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: impeach corrupt, activist judges.
Now an attorney named Robert Merting in South Carolina is trying to hold me in contempt for saying so.
He wants me thrown in jail for exercising my First Amendment right to call for the impeachment of public officials.
This is outrageous and unacceptable. And the local media won't even cover it.
Travis Reed Gaye faced 70 years in jail on 7 charges in South Carolina. After AG Alan Wilson's office prosecuted him, he pled guilty in November and got PROBATION. No jail time. 11 days later, he violated his probation. He was supposed to serve time. Instead? A judge let him out hours later. He STILL hasn't served his required time.
Protecting children isn't political, it's personal and nonpartisan.
Last week in South Carolina, over a dozen mothers joined us at a press conference, outraged a convicted child sex offender was released within hours of violating probation, just 11 days after conviction.
Despite a media blackout, one brave child saw the predator from our press conference and came forward immediately to file a police report.
This kind of courage reminds us why this work matters.
The press conference the media doesn't want you to see.
We stood with over one dozen mothers demanding answers.
Why aren't predators being prosecuted in South Carolina? Why is our children's safety being put last?
Since the media refuses to cover it, WE will.
Watch the full press conference they don't want you to see.
Share it everywhere. Silence protects predators. Our kids deserve better.
The justice system in South Carolina is BROKEN.
Victims of domestic violence can't get trials.
Sex trafficking is up over 400%.
Convicted pedophiles are being let out of jail with no time served.
Criminals with RAP sheets listing over 30 violent crimes are walking free to murder or reoffend.
NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT ANY OF IT.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (Jan. 13, 2026) - Congresswoman Nancy Mace released explosive findings from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request exposing serious failures inside the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office, including widespread case dismissals, an overwhelming reliance on plea deals, and a ballooning backlog of unresolved child sex crime cases. Furthermore, the data suggests there have been multiple years where the Attorney General’s office hasn’t had a single jury trial for child sexual predators.
