Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC) has officially announced her candidacy for governor of South Carolina.
Rumors have swirled about the possibility for her candidacy for months and Mace has made the speculation official Monday.
The announcement came at Mace’s alma mater The Citadel where she was the first female to graduate from the school.

The Washington Examiner reports:
“In Congress, I passed landmark legislation protecting women from violent illegal aliens and secured the largest federal grant in South Carolina history at $195 million. I’ve challenged the establishment, held the line, and delivered results for South Carolina,” Mace added.
The South Carolina congresswoman said she would prioritize cutting the state’s income tax to 0% and “cut unnecessary animal cruelty.” Mace said she would fund her income tax plan “using a $1.9 billion surplus, a broadening of the sales tax base, and a Transition Reserve to protect our budget and credit rating.”
She said her plan would aim to make the state’s income tax 0% by 2031. As part of her animal cruelty plan, she’ll launch Violet’s law, which makes sure lab animals are adopted instead of euthanized.
Mace said she will seek President Donald Trump’s endorsement, “and no one in this race will work harder to earn it.” She touted Trump’s past support of her in an announcement video.
Mace promised to call out wrong decisions no matter party and her goal was the “ruffle feathers.”
The Republican primary to succeed current Governor Henry McMaster (R) is crowded. Mace joins Representative Ralph Norman (R), Lt Governor Pam Evette (R), and State Attorney General Alan Wilson (R) who have all declared their candidacy.
Mace has made waves in congress from showing up to vote in pajamas to getting into verbal altercations with a transgender person.
