Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) has outlined her recent activities during the August recess, highlighting several legislative initiatives and oversight actions aimed at supporting South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District.
“We wasted no time this August recess,” said Congresswoman Mace. “From introducing legislation to returning millions to constituents, no one works harder to serve the Lowcountry.”
According to her office, more than $414 million was returned to constituents during this period. This includes over $35 million in casework and nearly $379 million in grants. Additionally, Mace reported attending 59 meetings and events throughout the district and wrote 15 letters of support for local organizations seeking federal investment.
Mace introduced six bills during the recess:
– The Gender-Affirming Child Abuse Prevention Act would allow individuals who received gender-related medical treatments as minors to seek legal recourse.
– The No Appointments by Rogue Judges Act aims to limit district judges’ authority in appointing U.S. Attorneys beyond their interim terms.
– The Cybersecurity Hiring Modernization Act is designed to remove unnecessary degree requirements for cybersecurity roles in federal agencies.
– The Restoring Merit in the Military Act seeks to base Department of Defense personnel decisions strictly on merit.
– The Restoring Merit in the Military Service Academies Act would reform service academy admissions processes.
– The No Indoctrination of Military Kids Act proposes restrictions on certain educational content within Department of Defense schools.
In addition, Rep. Mace sent two oversight letters: one questioning Hertz Global Holdings about its use of Artificial Intelligence for vehicle assessments, and another with Chairman James Comer expressing concerns about antisemitic and anti-Israel content on Wikipedia.
Nancy Mace has represented South Carolina’s 1st district since 2021 after succeeding Joe Cunningham. She previously served in the state House from 2018 to 2020 and lives in Charleston. Born at Fort Bragg in 1977, she graduated from The Citadel with a Bachelor of Science degree.
