Nancy Ruth Mace (born December 4, 1977) is an American politician who has been the U.S. representative for South Carolina's 1st congressional district since 2021. Her district includes much of the state's share of the East Coast, from Charleston to Hilton Head Island.
In 1999, Mace became the first woman to graduate from the Corps of Cadets program at The Citadel. From 2018 to 2020, she represented the 99th district in the South Carolina House of Representatives, covering Hanahan, northeast Mount Pleasant, and Daniel Island. In 2020, Mace was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, becoming the first Republican woman elected to Congress from South Carolina.[1]
Mace worked for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign,[2] but strongly condemned his actions surrounding the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack. Mace asserted that Trump's legacy had been "wiped out" and that he should be held "accountable" for his actions. However, she ultimately voted against impeaching him.[3][4] In her 2022 re-election campaign, Mace fended off a Trump-back primary challenger. Within a year, Mace would change her rhetoric, later coming to Trump's defense following his criminal indictment.[5] In 2024, Mace endorsed Trump in the 2024 Republican primaries over Nikki Haley, who supported Mace in the 2022 primary.[6]
