🏛 From the Desk of Congresswoman Nancy Mace As your Representative in Washington, we are working every day to fight for our Lowcountry values. This newsletter is your inside look at what’s happening in D.C. and how our team is working to serve you right here at home. Whether it’s securing our borders, standing up for our military, or protecting your freedoms, we’ve got your back. Here’s what we’ve been working on in Washington: | MACE WIN: We just ranked Top 5 in the ENTIRE House for bills introduced. We’ve filed 54 bills this year alone, working nonstop from the Lowcountry to Washington to deliver results. | The U.S. House of Representatives voted 214–213 to table our resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and strip her of all committee assignments following her indefensible comments mocking the cold-blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk. 210 Democrats and 4 Republicans (Mike Flood, Jeff Hurd, Tom McClintock, and Cory Mills) rushed to shield Omar from justice following her own actions. “Tonight, 210 Democrats and 4 Republicans sold out and chose to protect Ilhan Omar, a woman who mocked the cold-blooded assassination of an innocent American husband and father, who has openly supported ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood, and who has repeatedly incited political violence,” said Congresswoman Nancy Mace. “They didn’t stand with Charlie Kirk. They didn’t stand with the millions of Americans mourning his death. They stood with the one who mocked his legacy. They showed us exactly who they are, and we won’t forget.” Just days after Kirk’s murder, Omar appeared on the Breaking Points podcast where she: - Claimed those saying “Charlie Kirk just wanted to have a civil debate” are “full of s—”.
- Said there is “nothing more f—ed up than to pretend his words and actions have not been recorded” over the past decade.
- Dismissed the grief of millions as “complete rewriting of history”.
Omar also reposted a video calling Charlie Kirk a “stochastic terrorist” and a “reprehensible human being,” doubling down on her attacks while his family was still planning his memorial. Our resolution would have: - Formally censured Rep. Ilhan Omar before the full House of Representatives.
- Required her to stand in the well of the House chamber as the censure is read aloud.
- Stripped her of committee assignments on the House Education and Workforce Committee and the House Budget Committee.
| We pressed Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser in a Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing on her gender-bender nonsense, racial quotas, and taxpayer-funded activism, which is exactly why we introduced our No DEI in DC Act. | As Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation, we examined how artificial intelligence is transforming healthcare, transportation, and agriculture, and why U.S. leadership is critical. By leading responsibly, we can set standards, protect our values, and ensure AI improves lives here at home. | We introduced the No DEI in DC Act to defund and eliminate the Left’s political machine inside D.C.’s government and bulldoze the DEI offices wasting taxpayer dollars on identity politics. The No DEI in DC Act will dismantle this bloated bureaucracy, defund its political brainwashing mandates, eliminate racial equity training, and advance President Trump’s mission to Make D.C. Safe Again. | We introduced the Government Shutdown Prevention Act of 2025 to end Washington’s cycle of shutdown brinkmanship by removing shutdown threats as leverage and forcing Congress to budget responsibly, without punishing taxpayers, servicemembers, or federal workers. Under this bill, if Congress misses its deadlines, automatic continuing resolutions would keep the government running at 94% of the previous year’s funding level. Every 90 days lawmakers fail to act, funding would decrease by an additional 1%, tightening spending until Congress completes its work. | We were highlighted in the Post and Courier’s latest Letter to the Editor from Retired Marine Lieutenant Colonel Caroline Fermin and Retired Marine Colonel Neal Pugliese, thanking us for supporting the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs authorization of $30.4 million for a new VA outpatient clinic in Beaufort County. | Live 5 News covered our letter we sent to the U.S. Department of Education following disturbing reports of educators and institutions celebrating or excusing the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We are calling on Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to cut off every dime of federal funding to any elementary, secondary, or post-secondary school who refuses to remove or discipline staff who glorify or justify political violence. | The Post and Courier recently published our op-ed on the $24.6 million U.S. Department of Transportation grant we supported for Dorchester County and the impact this project will have on the Lowcountry. | Breitbart covered an exclusive on one of our new bills, the No DEI in DC Act, which will defund and eliminate the Left’s political machine inside D.C.’s government and bulldoze the DEI offices wasting taxpayer dollars on identity politics. | We sat down with Steve Gruber on Real America’s Voice to talk about our resolution to censure Rep. Ilhan Omar and strip her of all House committee assignments for mocking the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and we also spotlighted President Trump’s success in cracking down on crime. | We spoke with Piers Morgan about the consequences of free speech, our hotline for reporting those glorifying Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and President Trump’s visit to the UK. | Alongside Governor McMaster, we joined Volvo Cars to celebrate 70 years in the U.S., a decade in the Lowcountry, and the launch of a new vehicle which begins their goal of building half of all Volvos in America. SC-01 is the nation’s 10th fastest-growing district, in the 10th fastest-growing state. Growth starts here, driving more jobs, more manufacturing, and more momentum. | We spoke at the SC Chamber of Commerce’s Washington Night in Columbia about cybersecurity, VA modernization, and blockchain, and how these tools can drive South Carolina’s economy and create real opportunity. | We personally thanked the men and women of the South Carolina National Guard serving here in D.C. as part of President Trump’s mission to fight crime and Make America Safe Again. They’re doing an incredible job. South Carolinians are leading the way. | We spoke at Senator Tim Scott's 15th Annual South Carolina Prayer Breakfast, where South Carolinians gathered to lift our state and nation in prayer. In a world of uncertainty, one truth remains: through every trial and burden, God’s goodness stands firm. | We opened the Tunnel to Towers Golf Tournament in Mount Pleasant, supporting a mission dedicated to providing mortgage-free homes for veterans, first responders, and Gold Star families. Their work is vital, as 66,500 veterans call SC-01 home, nearly one in three of all veterans in South Carolina. | 💬 Need help with a federal agency?
