Nancy Mace has won the Republican nomination for the U.S. House in South Carolina’s 1st congressional district, according to the AP + Live 5 News.
Rep. Nancy Mace released the following statement:
“Today is a great day for a lot of reasons. For every independent thinker in the Lowcountry, it’s day one of our new mission - to unite together to take back the Lowcountry.
I insisted on running a positive campaign about the voters and their issues and why I was the best candidate to represent them.
I’m proud to say we did it.
My democrat opponent votes with Nancy Pelosi 85 percent of the time. That is not what most of the Lowcountry believes or deserves.
The fight to end Nancy Pelosi’s hold on our district starts tonight.
I have a message for my opponent, for Speaker Pelosi, for the National Democrat Party - I’m coming for you. We are coming for you. We are going to take back this seat for the Lowcountry.”
Mace faced Kathy Landing, Chris Cox, and Brad Mole in Tuesday’s primary. She will face Rep. Joe Cunningham in November’s election.
