Rep. Nancy Mace believes the GOP needs to “espouse a little common sense” — on hot-button issues like gun control and abortion — to win in 2024.
In 2020, she was the first Republican congresswoman elected in South Carolina.
“We have to address these sensitive issues head on,” she said. “We can’t be afraid to talk about them, and we have to have solutions.” Since assuming office in 2021, Mace has drawn attention for her stances on hot-button issues that sometimes break from those of her Republican colleagues.In 2019, Mace, then a state representative, made headlines for challenging her party when South Carolina became the first state to float a fetal heartbeat abortion restriction without exception for rape and incest.
It’s those sorts of common sense, compassionate positions that allowed Mace to win over her purple district: “Being able to show how we can be pro-life and pro-woman and get respect from people across the board regardless of political affiliation is extremely important to me as a lawmaker.”She says these sorts of compromises are what will bring more people over to the GOP’s side — and that failing to make them could cost elections.
The representative and mother-of-two was inspired to advocate for active shooter alerts after her family didn’t know they were a mile away from a shooting.“I want to protect the right to bear arms. I want to protect the Second Amendment,” she said. “And the best way we can do that is by reducing gun violence in this country.”“I literally feel like I’m the only one talking about any of this, and it’s deeply frustrating to me,” the congresswoman warned. “That’s a losing formula for ’24.
