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.

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) and Congresswoman Sara Jacobs (CA-53) released the following statement on the introduction of the bipartisan Ending Veteran Homelessness Act:
On any given night in 2009, more than 630,000 Americans were homeless. Even more tragic, one out of every 10 of those homeless Americans served the country in the armed forces, including more than 600 in South Carolina. This meant 73,000 veterans who volunteered to ensure the rest of us could sleep in peace had no assurance they would find a bed to sleep in; more than 40% of them couldn’t even find one in a shelter.
For nearly two decades, the Washington foreign policy establishment has dragged us into unchecked, unilateral, never-ending conflicts overseas. These wars cost taxpayers trillions of dollars and leave tens of thousands of service members and their families with both visible and invisible scars.
Even worse, over 7,000 fathers, mothers, daughters, and sons never came home.
Republicans and Democrats alike are responsible for this devastating loss of blood and treasure. The Bush administration got us into these wars, the Obama administration kept us in.
Congresswoman Nancy Mace joined Fox and Friends First to discuss a new, partisan $6 trillion "infrastructure" bill pushed by Bernie Sanders and why we need to repeal the 2002 AUMF.
