Overview

• Since November 1, Rep. Nancy Mace's entire D.C. office staff has turned over, including the firing of her former chief of staff, Dan Hanlon, who is now running against her.
• Former staffers describe the work environment under Mace as 'toxic' and 'abusive,' with allegations of excessive micromanagement and unrealistic expectations.
• Mace's new chief of staff, Lori Khatod, downplays the turnover, calling it a 'non-issue' and likening it to 'new coach, new team in the DC office.'
• Incidents of using Capitol Police to intimidate staff and demanding constant availability from employees, even on holidays, have been reported.
• High staff turnover is unusual and signals deep dissatisfaction, according to experts, with Mace having only one bill signed into law during her tenure.
