We Voted YES To Release ALL Epstein Files, Standing With Survivors Long Denied Justice

Congresswoman Nancy Mace cast a vote which echoes across decades of silence, pain, and injustice. Congresswoman Mace voted YES to release all Jeffrey Epstein files.

Congresswoman Mace stood as one of four Republicans who signed House Resolution 1434, the discharge petition to force a floor vote on releasing the Epstein files. As a survivor of sexual assault and domestic violence, Congresswoman Mace knows exactly how personal and painful this fight is. Rep. Mace has seen firsthand what happens when women come forward and seek justice — they get sued, smeared, and defamed by the Fake News media and by their abusers.

Rep. Mace released the statement below following the vote: 

“Today is a historic day for every survivor across the country. I know the toll this trauma takes on a survivor's life and the courage it takes to come forward. The Epstein survivors' voices are not just a vessel for the justice they are seeking for themselves. They are a vessel for the justice owed to the millions of other survivors who will never get this day. Most of us never get the opportunity to face our accuser, let alone see them prosecuted or put behind bars,” said Congresswoman Mace. “This is a symbolic day because it represents a fight not only for these survivors, but for so many of us who feel like we will never see justice."

Congresswoman Mace recognizes President Donald Trump for stepping up when it mattered most—putting survivors like herself, and countless others across America, first by backing this critical fight for justice. In a world where powerful men have spent decades protecting predators and silencing victims, President Trump has chosen to stand with survivors. 

"Real men protect women," Congresswoman Mace stated. "President Trump understands justice delayed is justice denied, and he's not afraid to stand with survivors when we need it most."

Congresswoman Mace met with Epstein survivors in a closed-door meeting held in her Washington, DC office. Rep. Mace listened as they described the moment their childhood ended, some at just 14 years old. She heard about their innocence stolen, the years they lost to their rights being violated, and the impossible burden of carrying this trauma too heavy for any human soul to bear alone. 

Congresswoman Mace emphasized she will never allow survivors’ voices to be silenced and will continue to be a fighting force in Congress for every woman and girl who has endured abuse, assault, or exploitation.

“This is bigger than one case. This is a reckoning,” said Congresswoman Nancy Mace. “These survivors represent every woman who was told to stay quiet, every girl who was made to feel it was her fault, every person who learned power protects predators while survivors are left to rebuild their shattered lives alone."
 

We sent a formal letter to Speaker Mike Johnson to strip Rep. Cory Mills (FL-07) of his committee assignments. Rep. Mills’ record is tainted by allegations of stolen valor, domestic a*use, and arms deals with the U.S. government and foreign nations while serving in Congress. This is not a man who should be sitting in the House Armed Services Committee or the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Because of the allegations against Rep. Cory Mills, we also offered a privileged motion to censure Mills. When you're accused of assaulting women, profiting off federal contracts from your congressional seat, and inflating your military record, you have no business shaping America's defense policy. This isn't about party lines, it's about integrity. No more hiding behind the establishment to protect abusers and grifters. This is swamp behavior at its worst.

 

Congresswoman Mace issued the following statement on her privileged resolution seeking to censure Rep. Cory Mills: 

 

“I will not stand by while women risk everything to come forward with credible allegations of abuse and threats. I will not stay silent while a Member of Congress may be lining his pockets through federal contracts. And I will not look the other way while allegations of stolen valor, a slap in the face to every veteran who earned their service and sacrifice, goes unchecked.

 

“Cory Mills’ alleged conduct makes him unfit to serve on any committee responsible for our national security. And as a survivor, these allegations involving women strike at a place I know too well, and I refuse to ignore them or let this institution minimize them.

 

“This privileged resolution is about drawing a line: defending the integrity of Congress, standing with survivors who are too often dismissed or silenced, and respecting veterans whose courage is not up for debate. This is bigger than politics, it’s about right and wrong.

 

“And that is why we are forcing a vote on the House floor to censure him. Accountability will not wait.”

MACE WIN: We helped secure a $832,000 grant for the Charleston Fire Department. Charleston Fire Chief Dan Curia graciously recognized us for helping secure this federal grant. This federal funding will strengthen marine training, equipment, and emergency response capabilities, giving them the tools they need to keep the Lowcountry safe and protect our critical infrastructure. See our letter of support below. 
 

Check out this letter from constituent Stephen Maglione recognizing our support: After Hurricane Helene damaged his home, he and his family couldn’t get assistance from any other agency. So our office stepped in to make sure they got the help they needed. We step in to help our constituents when they need it most and especially when no one else will. Thank you for the kind words, Stephen. Our office is always here for the Lowcountry.
 

We attended The Citadel’s homecoming weekend celebration. The Citadel is where we learned strength, toughness, and to never quit — even when you think you’re broken. That same fight is why we stand up to the good old boys today. Why we never back down from bullies. Why we protect victims at all possible costs. When others fold, we fight — and when the pressure’s on, we fight even harder.

 

Decades later: still standing. Still fighting. Still tough as hell.

Congresswoman Nancy Mace's office confirmed that two additional women have come forward to report alleged abuse by Patrick Bryant, bringing renewed urgency to ongoing investigations and the need for potential victims to seek help.

 

"I don't know what's worse: Finding all this evidence or turning in a loved one," said Congresswoman Mace in a video statement. "Each new allegation, more disturbing than the last."

 

The allegations against Bryant include purported child sexual exploitation material, multiple rape accusations, and hidden cameras used to film women without their knowledge or consent.

 

"Patrick Bryant and his attorneys continue to harass his victims for doing what's right," Mace continued. "I WILL NOT be silenced. I will fight for you."

 

Call to Action for Victims and Witnesses

Congresswoman Mace is urging anyone who believes they may have been victimized by Patrick Bryant or who has information relevant to ongoing investigations to come forward immediately.

 

Individuals can reach out to Congresswoman Mace's official federal office at: mace.house.gov/contact

 

The office will:

  • Provide victims contact information for law enforcement investigators, including SLED (South Carolina Law Enforcement Division) - if they wish to report it to the appropriate authorities
  • Connect victims with appropriate resources and support services
  • Handle all communications discreetly and with the utmost sensitivity

"If you have information, come forward. We will protect you," said Mace.

 

Since uncovering evidence related to these allegations, Congresswoman Mace has drafted more than a dozen bills aimed at protecting women and children from sexual exploitation and abuse.

This week, we’re highlighting three outstanding constituent spotlights!

 

Corporal Dorothy W. Johnson, USMC, served as the Grand Marshal in this year’s Beaufort County Veterans Day Parade. A Dale, SC native, she enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1961.
