Overview

• Rep. Nancy Mace pledged at a Charleston campaign event to ban chemtrails and remove fluoride from South Carolina’s water supply if elected governor.
• She delivered the pledge largely unprompted in response to a voter’s question about water fluoridation.
• Mace cited Florida’s SB 56 and Tennessee’s weather modification restrictions as precedent, though those laws target geoengineering technologies rather than chemtrail conspiracies.
• Florida’s legislation criminalizes unapproved weather modification with fines up to $100,000 and prison terms, while Tennessee bars intentional atmospheric dispersion to alter weather or sunlight.
• Observers warn her comments blur debunked chemtrail theories with established environmental policy and risk fueling misinformation in her campaign discourse.
