Rep. Nancy Mace, known for her bold stances and willingness to challenge GOP norms, officially declared her candidacy for governor of South Carolina on Monday. This announcement adds significant momentum to an already competitive primary featuring several prominent figures in the state. At a rally held at the Citadel in Charleston—where she made history 26 years ago as the first woman to graduate from the Corps of Cadets—Mace delivered a powerful message. “I didn’t come to join the club. They don’t want me, and I don’t want them. I came to hold the line. They said stay quiet; I spoke up. They said sit down; I stood up. They said play nice, and I fought back.” Mace emphasized her proactive approach, declaring, “This isn’t about playing defense. This is about going on offense for you—your family, your freedom, and your future. I wasn’t built to kiss the ring; I just wear one. I don’t owe the establishment a single thing. I answer to the people, and let me tell you, the people are fed up.” While Donald Trump has yet to endorse a candidate in the race, Mace’s campaign video features him praising her as “a fighter.” Her platform outlines a stringent “zero-tolerance approach to crime,” proposals to eliminate the state income tax, and strong opposition to what she describes as “the radical gender agenda” and “woke ideology” in education. As part of her policy outline, Mace stated, “We’re going to ban pronouns in the classroom. I want to see kids coming home with A's and B's, not they and them. We’re going to have tech-free school zones.” She further asserted, “We will not fund any schools that allow biological men in women’s bathrooms or locker rooms, or schools that permit men to compete in women’s sports, or that promote gender ideology.”
