From Fox News: Rep. Nancy Mace, the South Carolina Republican with a large national profile, on Monday declared her candidacy for Palmetto State governor.
“I’m running to put South Carolina first,” Mace, a three-term House member who represents a coastal congressional district in the state’s Lowcountry, said in a statement shared first with Fox News Digital.
Mace, as she launched her campaign, argued that “we can continue doing the things we’ve always done,” as she took aim at what she called “weak leadership” in the state.
“Or we can chart a new course – one filled with common sense and bold policies to hold the line for South Carolina,” she emphasized.
Several other Republicans are also running for the coveted governor’s seat, including: South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, state Sen. Josh Kimbrell and Republican Rep. Ralph Norman.
“I’m running to be the Governor of South Carolina! God’s not done with South Carolina and neither am I. You and me. Our mission begins now. South Carolina First. Nancy Mace for Governor,” Mace wrote in a post on X, sharing a news video ad.
