Congresswoman Nancy Mace grew up in the Lowcountry. She is the daughter of a retired Army General and retired school teacher.
Before being sworn into Congress, Nancy earned accolades as one of the most fiscally conservative members of the South Carolina General Assembly; she’s also one of the most pro-conservation lawmakers in the state of South Carolina.
Nancy grew up in Goose Creek, S.C. And when she dropped out of high school at the age of 17, her parents said, “If you’re going to stop going to school, you got to start going to work.” She immediately became a waitress at the Waffle House on College Park Road in Ladson (exit 203).
One of the best decisions of the Trump administration was to end oil and gas drilling off South Carolina’s coastline. We’ve seen the immense damage offshore drilling can do to our wildlife and environment when things go wrong, and South Carolinians have made it abundantly clear they don’t want to take this risk.
Our region and our state depend on the conservation of nature to grow and prosper. I’m committed to keeping oil rigs off our coast permanently to ensure South Carolina will never experience the crippling devastation others have and that we do all we can to protect our environment and wildlife.
