In a statement regarding military policy, Mace wrote: “America’s military is the strongest fighting force in the world and we refuse to let woke politics chip away at its strength.

Turning attention to child trafficking and abuse linked to high-profile individuals, she posted: “The Epstein files are not just a headline. They are not just a scandal. They are not just a political story. We are talking about children. Young girls who were trafficked, abused, and silenced by some of the most powerful and well-connected people in the world.” (May 15, 2026).
On veteran healthcare infrastructure, Mace highlighted bipartisan efforts with: “Our veterans should never have to worry about floodwaters shutting down their care. We introduced the VA Flood Preparedness Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at strengthening the protection of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facilities against flooding and rising sea” (May 15, 2026).
