Rep. Nancy Mace Faces Staff Exodus Amid Allegations of Toxic Work Environment
In just three months, Rep. Nancy Mace's entire D.C. office staff has resigned or been replaced, with former employees citing a 'toxic' and 'abusive' workplace.
- 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.
