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.

U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace calls for briefings from two federal agencies that oversee a primate research facility in Beaufort County where 43 monkeys escaped last week. 11 are still outside the facility.
Their escape captured national headlines and generated a slew of funny memes. But Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace isn’t laughing as roughly a dozen rhesus macaque monkeys are still on the lamb after fleeing the Alpha Genesis Primate Research Center in Yemassee, SC.
"This administration has given its bureaucrats the green light to make unhinged, power-drunk decisions. They’ve emboldened officials to think it’s okay to push personal agendas instead of just doing their jobs. Americans deserve better than this circus."
(Charleston, S.C., November 12th, 2024) — Congresswoman Nancy Mace sent a letter to the USDA and NIH demanding a briefing after a recent escape of 43 monkeys from the Alpha Genesis facility in Yemassee, SC.

(Washington, D.C., November 6th, 2024) – Congresswoman Nancy Mace made the following statement:
"Together, we’ll secure our border, uphold what it means to be a woman, and keep our nation strong. We're ready to clean house, bring back common sense, and restore peace all while putting the Lowcountry first. God bless the Lowcountry, God bless South Carolina, and God bless the United States of America! Now, let’s get back to work.”
(Washington D.C., November 4th, 2024) -- Congresswoman Nancy Mace has introduced the Rape Shield Enhancement Act of 2024 to protect victims from unfair judgment or blame in assault cases. This bill instructs the Judicial Conference to review and suggest updates to federal rules, ensuring victims' personal details, when irrelevant to the case, remain protected in court.
“The latest jobs report speaks for itself — just 12,000 jobs added this month is hardly a boost for hardworking Americans. With wage growth at a standstill for many, and sectors like manufacturing taking major hits, this report only shows the need for serious, immediate policy changes to protect American jobs and restore economic strength.”
Washington, D.C. – November 1st, 2024 – The House Oversight Committee has launched an investigation into Charleston County Sheriff Kristin Graziano’s refusal to provide crucial ICE detainer records, citing willful obstruction. These records, detailing her handling of ICE requests and the termination of the County’s 287(g) agreement, have significant public safety implications. Rep.
“Requesting $3 billion for an urgent 'budget shortfall' when the VA already had billions in unspent funds is absurd. The VA’s role is to prioritize the health and well-being of our veterans, not mislead Congress into rushing funding where it isn’t needed. Remember, this is the same VA handing itself massive bonuses. Accountability is long overdue, and we need clear answers.”
“American families and small businesses are bearing the brunt of an economy failing to meet expectations. Growth is crawling at 2.8% for the third quarter. Meanwhile, rampant government spending has pushed our deficit over $1.8 trillion in fiscal 2024—a figure made worse by soaring inflation and cost of living. The federal government is mortgaging the future of every American family to cover its spending addiction.”
