Rep. Nancy Mace

In Congress, we’ve made it a priority to ensure animals are protected and treated with the care they deserve. Here at home, we helped secure a $30,000 grant for our local shelter, Dorchester Paws, to hire adoption staff, and supported a $5,000 award to expand veterinary care for Dorchester County pets and pet owners through their Pet Community Days. In Washington, we’ve championed the PUPPS Act, Violet’s Law, the TRANS MICE Act, and the PAAW Act, and exposed millions of taxpayer dollars spent on transgender animal experiments in the name of research. They cannot speak for themselves. We will always be a voice for them.

One thing is clear: a transgender woman is not a woman. Washington and Arizona just approved measures keeping biological boys OUT of girls' sports. Washington: a blue state where 56% said yes. Arizona: 58% said yes. This isn't left vs. right. It's right vs. wrong. Girls train for years for a spot on the team, a podium finish, and a scholarship. None of it should be handed to a man. Men are NOT women, and they never will be. Hold the Line.

Gavin Newsom just told the victim of every criminal on death row, their justice doesn't matter. Unbelievably disgusting. Stop coddling criminals and start supporting victims.

INTRODUCING: The Clothing Microplastic Transparency Act, legislation requiring clothing companies to disclose microplastic content in the products they sell. Americans deserve to know what is in the clothing touching their skin all day long. While current labels list fiber content, they do not disclose microplastics. Our bill puts the facts on the tag. At a time when microplastics and other components have fueled health concerns, you deserve to know what you wear. The FTC, in consultation with the EPA, would have one year to issue regulations, including a standardized test method companies must use to estimate microplastic content. Violations would be treated as unfair or deceptive practices under the Federal Trade Commission Act and enforced by the FTC.

Men don't belong in women's sports. Common sense shouldn't be controversial.

Becoming a mother is one of the most rewarding experiences in life. It is also one of the biggest moments, and she should not have to navigate it alone. This is why we introduced the Standing with Moms Act to create life.gov, a one-stop resource connecting expectant mothers with healthcare, childcare, housing, financial assistance, mental health services, and more. No mom should have to figure it all out on her own. We want to make sure every mom has the resources she needs to thrive, from pregnancy to parenthood.

American strength on the world stage doesn’t require another forever war.

The last thing our warfighters should have to worry about is their little girls competing against boys in sports at school. We secured an amendment in the House-passed NDAA to ensure biological males never compete in women’s sports at Department of War Education Activity schools. This is just common sense.

It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve South Carolina. I will continue to work hard for the Lowcountry until my very last day.

We introduced the No Woke Indoctrination of Military Kids Act to get radical ideology out of Department of War Education Activity schools. These kids should be taught reading, math, and American history. Not guilt, grievance, and gender theory. Under our bill, no DoWEA funds can be used to teach or promote critical race theory in any classroom, training, or extracurricular activity, or to buy curriculum built on it. The bill spells out exactly what’s off the table: teaching any race is inherently superior or inferior, any child is inherently oppressed or oppressive because of race or sex, America is irredeemably racist, or the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution is a racist document. It also shuts down DEI offices, diversity officers, and DEI trainings. Parents get a formal way to report violations. Staff who break the law can be fired. The families who serve this country deserve schools teaching their kids to love the country they sacrifice everything to defend.

South Carolina is and always will be our home. We don’t fold, we don’t quit, and we don’t walk away from the people we serve. Not today. Not ever. This state was built by people who never gave up, and we’re not about to start now. The values we believe in, faith, family, freedom and hard work, aren't going anywhere. The work continues. South Carolina STRONG.

Peace through strength works. Endless war doesn’t. The best interests of American families must come FIRST in every decision.

Remember who we're fighting for. Our children. The next generation. The future of this country. Their safety, their freedom and their future are worth fighting for. Every. Single. Day. And we won't stop.
