Overview

  • Mace formally kicked off her campaign Monday at The Citadel, branding herself “Trump in heels” and pledging to bring President Trump’s America First agenda to the governor’s office
  • She outlined policy goals to eliminate the state income tax, restore law and order, expand school choice and purge “woke” ideology from state institutions
  • The three-term congresswoman joins a Republican primary field that already includes Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, Rep. Ralph Norman, Attorney General Alan Wilson and state Sen. Josh Kimbrell
  • Mace accused Attorney General Alan Wilson of ignoring evidence in multiple sexual assault cases, a charge Wilson has called “categorically false”
  • She is seeking President Trump’s endorsement to bolster her standing as the front-runner in South Carolina’s Republican primary
