South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace has made it official. She’s running for governor.

The three-term U.S. representative for the coastal 1st District formally filed Monday to enter her name on the 2026 Republican ballot.

“South Carolina didn’t just shape me, it made me,” said Rep. Mace. “And now it’s time to give it everything I got.”

Republican challengers

Mace will take on at least three fellow Republicans in the upcoming June primary: Congressman Ralph Norman, businessman Rom Reddy, and Attorney General Alan Wilson. All have filed.

Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and state Sen. Josh Kimbrell have announced intentions to run but have yet to make it official. Governor McMaster has already endorsed Evette with the filing deadline of March 30 just days away.

South Carolina Republicans would be really stupid to nominate this nutcase as their gubernatorial candidate...

Nancy Mace turned ‘minor miscommunication’ into profanity-laced ‘spectacle’ at SC airport: police report

Rep. Nancy Mace let a “minor miscommunication” blow up into a profane “spectacle” when she repeatedly cussed at cops for being late to escort her through a South Carolina airport, an internal investigation has found.

Mace (R-SC), 47, had expected Charleston Airport Police to walk with her to her gate promptly after being dropped off on the morning of Oct. 30 — but flew into a rage when a supervisor who misidentified her car delayed the congresswoman’s meetup with law enforcement, according to the 10-page report.

The South Carolina gubernatorial hopeful arrived at an unexpected location in a “grey/silver BMW” rather than a “white” one, as the supervisor — who the report said “read the email quickly and pass[ed] on incorrect information unintentionally” — had stated.

Use of the encrypted app Signal — which “[n]o other protectee” uses for communicating with officers — and complications due to the “high personnel turnover” rate in Mace’s office also “exacerbated” the situation, added the Nov. 12 report by Charleston Airport Police Chief James A. Woods.

“While it is clear that we hold a certain level of responsibility in miscommunicating the color of Congresswoman Mace’s vehicle, it’s also equally clear that her continued failure to follow established procedures at the checkpoint is what turned a minor miscommunication over the color of a vehicle into the spectacle that this issue has become for our employees and airport workers,” it concluded.

Despite the delay, the South Carolina lawmaker was held up for no more than six minutes at a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint, during which time she tore into a supervisory TSA officer and later the cops who helped her to the gate, snapping at one point that she was “sick of your s–t.”

“[W]hen the Congresswoman arrived at the checkpoint, she was on her phone and telling someone on the other end of the line that she ‘shouldn’t be waiting,’ and that ‘this is always happening,'” relayed the security officer.

Mace also snarled on the phone that she would not be so inconvenienced if she was a senator, confirming an early account of the incident that quoted her as saying, “[GOP Sen.] Tim Scott [R-SC] would not be f–king treated this way.”

When airport police arrived, Mace turned her rage on them as they accompanied her to her flight.

“I’m sick of your s–t, I’m tired of having to wait. I should not have to wait. You guys are always [f–king] late, this is [f–king] ridiculous,” she fumed.
