Congresswoman Nancy Mace, who represents South Carolina’s 1st district in the U.S. Congress, has introduced her 60th piece of legislation for 2025. This milestone highlights her legislative activity since taking office in 2021 after replacing Joe Cunningham.
“These 60 pieces of legislation place our office in the top 2% of the House in terms of legislation introduced this year – more than any other member of the South Carolina delegation by far. Despite the gridlock in Washington, we are putting forward meaningful, commonsense solutions to the issues South Carolinians tell us matter most, from defending the homeland and supporting our veterans to protecting women and girls and our coastal communities,” said Congresswoman Nancy Mace. “Serving the Lowcountry is the honor of my life. No one will work harder for South Carolina – and we are just getting started.”
Among her latest bills are the Food Assistance Integrity and Responsibility (FAIR) Act, which seeks to require photo identification on EBT cards to prevent fraud, and the Tax Fairness for Abuse Survivors Act, aimed at providing tax relief for domestic violence survivors facing unfair liabilities due to their abusers.
During 2025, two of Rep. Mace’s bills—the Skills-Based Federal Contracting Act and Veterans Affairs Distributed Ledger Innovation Act—passed out of committee with unanimous bipartisan support. Her Federal Contractor Cybersecurity Vulnerability Reduction Act and Preventing Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act have passed in the House and await Senate consideration.
Mace’s legislative focus covers a range of issues including government accountability, protection for vulnerable populations, national security measures, veterans’ affairs, technology modernization efforts, as well as initiatives related to women’s safety and coastal community interests.
Nancy Mace has served as a U.S. Representative since 2021 after previously serving in South Carolina’s state legislature from 2018 to 2020. She was born in Fort Bragg, North Carolina in 1977 and resides in Charleston. Mace graduated from The Citadel with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1999.
