Hugh Thompson Rice Jr. (born August 4, 1957) is an American lawyer and politician who served as the U.S. representative for South Carolina's 7th congressional district from 2013 to 2023. The district serves most of the northeastern corner of the state and includes Myrtle Beach, the Grand Strand, Florence, Cheraw, and Darlington. A Republican, Rice was first elected in 2012 and was a member of the freshman class chosen to sit at the House Republican leadership table. Rice was reelected in 2014, defeating Democratic nominee Gloria Bromell Tinubu in a rematch of the 2012 election.[1][2]
Rice was one of ten Republicans to vote to impeach Donald Trump in the second impeachment of Donald Trump.[3][4] In January 2021, the South Carolina Republican Party censured him for voting for the impeachment.[5] In 2022, Trump endorsed a primary opponent for his seat.[6] Rice lost the Republican nomination in the June 14 primary to South Carolina state representative Russell Fry, garnering less than 25% of the vote.[7][8]
