Originally published by Marissa Thompson and Nick Reagan for Live 5 News
South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace is officially throwing her hat in the ring for a long-anticipated gubernatorial run.
In a video posted to her website, which now reads “Nancy Mace for Governor,” Mace uses instances of media coverage and television interviews compiled into a highlight reel serving as an announcement. In it, she markets herself as a “firebrand Republican,” highlighting her status as the first woman to ever graduate from The Citadel and citing it as the reason that she “will not be bullied into silence.”
Like several other contenders in the race to the South Carolina Governor’s Mansion next fall, Mace also put a spotlight on praise she has received from President Donald Trump, who called her a fighter, saying that “when she sets her sight on something, she’s tough.”
