Nancy Mace in 2020 House elections


On Abortion: Very pro-life, no government funds to Planned Parenthood

I'm pro-life and believe we should defend life and liberty from conception to natural death. As a mom of two children, this is an especially important issue, to protect life. In my role as a State Representative I voted to block government funding of Planned Parenthood consistently, year after year; sponsored pro-life legislation with H3779, the South Carolina Unborn Child Protection from Dismemberment Abortion Act, and voted to pass the Fetal Heartbeat Bill in 2019.

On Civil Rights: Will support John Lewis's legacy

[On her predecessor]: "Nobody could possibly fill the shoes of Congressman Lewis," Williams said. "His leadership and fighting spirit is needed now more than ever in this country. I believe it is imperative that we choose someone with a long track record of fearlessly standing up for what is right and someone who will take on the endless attacks on our rights that we've grown accustomed to seeing from the Republican Party."

On Drugs: Hires former marijuana lobbyist, supports legalization

U.S. Rep.-elect Nancy Mace has hired Matt Nichols as her district director. Most recently, he served as a chief operating officer of the Cannabis Trade Federation. He played a major role in the SAFE ACT, which prohibits federal banking regulators from penalizing institutions for providing banking services to a legitimate marijuana or hemp-related business. Mace supports efforts to legalize marijuana, both medically and recreationally.

On Energy & Oil: Advocates complete ban on off-shore drilling

The first piece of legislation I filed as a state lawmaker was an anti-offshore drilling measure. Preserving our land is a top issue for me. South Carolina needs a voice that can work side by side with the current administration in building consensus among members of both political parties. We will never ban offshore drilling at the federal level if we do not have someone who can lead on this issue in a bipartisan manner. Oil drilling and seismic testing have no place on our coastline.

On Health Care: Advocates full repeal of ObamaCare

I filed legislation to repeal laws that require any new health care facility to be approved by a state agency before they are built or expanded. In Congress, I will support a FULL repeal of ObamaCare and work on legislation that will expand access, drive down prices and improve the quality of healthcare. Payments are on the rise, patients are turned away and yet Medicaid continues to chomp away at our federal budget. The federal government must loosen its grip on our healthcare decisions.

On Health Care: Americans should not have to forego health care due to cost

In 2017, I had to deny care after a bad car accident. I, like many American families, couldn't afford it. This is unacceptable. With the number of COVID19 cases on the rise, we need quality affordable health care more than ever.

On Immigration: Secure our border to increase national security

Ending the disregard for our rule of law and the contempt for adequate border security is critical to catching human traffickers, stemming the tide of dangerous drugs and prioritizing the well-being of American families over the needs of illegal immigrants. It is vital we secure our border. Immigration is a national security issue. I will vote to fund and implement all necessary border control and visa control systems, including more agents at the border and more funds devoted to our security.

On Technology: Rebuild infrastructure without burdensome regulations

It's time to fix our crumbling roads and bridges. I am running for U.S. Congress because it's time to stop rebuilding the world and start rebuilding America. It's time for a long-term plan that looks out for taxpayers AND fixes our roads! All too often the federal government stands in the way of innovation and problem-solving at the state and local level. I would work to do away with barriers faced by state and local governments to access critical funding for programs that work.
