Veterans

Sending our troops overseas, making sure those who have come home receive the very best healthcare, the applicability of military skills in the private sector — you name it — all these issues have affected both me and my family personally.
Like many South Carolinians, most of my family are military veterans. I am the daughter of U.S. Army retired Brigadier General James E. Mace, who saw two tours of combat in Vietnam and another in the 1964 Dominican Republic coup d’etat.
I am enormously supportive of all those who have served our country and will strongly fight for them in Congress, because to me, they’re family.
And Parris Island is part of this family—not only here in Beaufort, but to our entire state. Since 1915, the birthplace of Marines has always called the Lowcountry home and I will do everything possible in Congress to see it remains so.

"The VA’s decision to fund research into MDMA-assisted therapy for veterans with PTSD is a step toward providing real solutions for those who’ve sacrificed so much. We’ve been a strong advocate for research into treatments like this, urging the FDA to approve MDMA-assisted therapy last year and we support bills to expand access to these therapies."

“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.”
“The Biden-Harris Administration shamelessly turned the VA into a campaign arm with Executive Order 14019, prioritizing partisan voter registration over serving our veterans. Veterans fought for our freedoms, and they deserve better than being used as political pawns."
"The VA should be focused on caring for those who served, not doubling as a campaign office in Michigan. The Biden-Harris Administration crossed a line with Executive Order 14019, using the VA for partisan voter registration. Every document, email, and conversation involved must be fully investigated to ensure the VA is serving veterans, not a political agenda."

The Department of Veterans Affairs should examine how blockchain technology can be used to improve the benefits and services that it provides to veterans, according to a legislative proposal introduced on Tuesday.
The bill from Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., would direct VA to “conduct a comprehensive study on the feasibility, potential benefits and risks associated with using distributed ledger technology across various programs and services.”
