Jobs & Economy

A strong job market is the cornerstone of an unstoppable America. We get it, and that is why our votes will always put American workers and families first. From our many ports, our local small businesses, and urban development, we will defend your jobs and bring more to the Lowcountry. But jobs are not the only thing that shape our economy.
The current Congress in Washington has failed to end wasteful spending. The national debt is $34,000,000,000,000. Inflation is up. Cost of living is up. The burden of our nation's crippling debt is now being felt by families all across South Carolina. But establishment Republicans and Democrats have done nothing to prevent this. The unchecked spending in the nation's capital has spiraled out of control and we must act now and balance our budget. That is exactly what we will do in Congress.
We will not stand idly by as the Biden administration worsens the economic challenges facing hardworking American families. We will champion policies that lower taxes, alleviate the high cost of living, and provide meaningful change to American families. In our office, the Lowcountry will always come first, as we strive to uphold the values and principles that make our nation great.

(Washington D.C.) - Representative Nancy Mace's bill (R-SC-01), the Allowing Contractors to Choose Employees for Select Skills Act (ACCESS Act), has passed out of committee and is now one step away from reaching the House Floor for a vote. The ACCESS Act aims to prohibit minimum experience or educational requirements for proposed contractor personnel in government contract solicitations.
The House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Wednesday advanced legislation aimed at passing the federal government’s recent shift toward skills-based hiring along to include federal contractors as well.
IBM's longstanding advocacy for a skills-first approach in hiring is helping shape the cybersecurity and IT industries. The ACCESS Act focuses on skills rather than degrees. Education requirements have prevented us from tapping into the full potential of the great American workforce. By removing unnecessary degree requirements, we're ensuring equal opportunities for all Americans to contribute to our nation's innovation. Thank you, IBM, for the support on this legislation.
"This bipartisan bill would help to fill more open jobs in critical sectors such as IT and cybersecurity, open pathways to meaningful and well-paid jobs for more Americans, and help grow a more diverse and talented U.S. workforce," said Timi Hadra, Client Partner and Senior Executive for West Virginia, IBM Consulting.
Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., chair of a House Oversight subcommittee focused on information technology, is backing a new proposal to ban government buyers from including requirements for minimum amounts of experience or education for contractor personnel.
(Washington, D.C., March 22, 2024) - Representative Nancy Mace cast her vote against the $1.2 trillion spending bill due to the alarming rate at which we are borrowing—approximately $1 trillion every three months—a level that is clearly unsustainable. Rather than securing the border and focusing on priorities that matter to everyday Americans, this bill squanders taxpayer dollars on pet projects and ideological crusades of the extreme left.
