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.

More on Better Government
100 days in office. Nearly $2 million dollars returned to taxpayers. Over 1,000 constituent cases closed. Over 250 meetings in district. 53 bills co-sponsored. 3 bills sponsored. 1 main priority.
In November, the voters of South Carolina’s First Congressional District elected me as their voice in Washington and to ensure the House of Representatives is working on their behalf. Over these first 100 days in office, every constituent in the district can be proud of the team we have assembled and the hard work they’re bringing to the table.
For decades, Washington acted like they knew better than the American people. Politicians and unelected bureaucrats took voters’ hard-earned money and used it to crush American businesses, keep American workers from moving up, and hinder American families from living their own lives. The perspectives of those outside the Beltway bubble were cast aside and ignored by those elected to represent them.
But over the last four years, Republicans flipped the script.
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Nancy Mace announced Thursday her office has completed over 650 constituent cases for South Carolinians in the 1st Congressional District. Case work issues thus far have included IRS disputes, Medicare coverage, and veterans’ benefits. Mace’s office has also helped return over $1.2 million to constituents in her first two months in office.
Washington - Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) spoke with The Washington Post last month about her backstory, what led her to run for Congress, and where the Republican party goes from here. Read the piece here and see an excerpt below.
