Better Government
Our Founders accomplished a monumental task when they drafted our Constitution over 230 years ago. The system of checks and balances and separation of powers they created has carried our country through immense challenges which would have caused other systems of government to collapse.
However, this system has been damaged by career politicians who have engaged in tricks and games to protect and expand their power in ways the Founders would be horrified by today. This has led to many serving decades in Congress, near-criminal degrees of waste and self-dealing, and a national debt our kids and grandkids will be forced to repay.
As a member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, I’m committed to advancing common-sense reforms which will put a stop to this waste, fraud, and abuse once and for all.
A balanced budget amendment, congressional term limits, single-issue bills, and a ban on proxy voting and earmarks are all simple changes we can make which will go a long way toward restoring the vision of limited government our Founders had all those years ago.

"Justin Trudeau’s resignation as party leader is long overdue. His time as prime minister has been a textbook example of how extreme progressivism only leads to failure. Under his leadership, Canada’s economy has crumbled, crime has skyrocketed, and basic freedoms have been trampled. Instead of focusing on what really matters to Canadians, he chose to push woke politics which only made the country weaker, poorer, and more divided. This isn’t just a failed agenda—it’s a warning. Extreme progressivism like Trudeau’s is not sustainable.
(Washington, D.C., January 3rd, 2025) — Statement from Congresswoman Nancy Mace on the Reelection of Speaker Mike Johnson:
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) was sworn into the 119th Congress as part of a Republican majority in both Congress and the White House. With President Donald Trump’s leadership back in the Oval Office, Rep. Mace emphasized the clear mandate to deliver on the America First agenda and restore faith in our nation’s future.
Housing men with women in prison is a recipe for sexual assault.
“I oppose the Continuing Resolution for the third time. This bill signs off on continuing the $1.778 trillion in Biden-Pelosi level spending from the last CR and includes no cuts, and no accountability. Instead of single-subject bills, we get handed a fiscal trainwreck. The American people are watching. We can, and should do better.”
“The bipartisan addiction to reckless spending has put our nation in an extremely precarious financial position. The 1,547 page “CR” would have just made it worse. If Congress can’t agree to a bill that cuts reckless spending, then a partial government shutdown might be the only way to force Washington to get serious about its budget.
We’re also talking about a very short period of time, 30 days.
For decades, Democrats AND Republicans have engaged in massive reckless spending. This cycle of fiscal abuse must come to an end.
If we learned nothing else from the November 5th election, we learned the American people don’t want business as usual in Washington.
They want strong leaders who will stand up and say enough is enough.
I am standing up for my home state of South Carolina and every hardworking American fed up with Washington.
