At her gubernatorial campaign kickoff town hall in Myrtle Beach on August 7, 2025 — billed as the "Mother of All Town Halls" — Mace said:

"Yeah, I'm a victim of the justice system like you all are and we have a lot of victims that are coming forward and asking for help because they know I'm the only one who will make the noise to get justice for victims. I will do it no matter the cost. I have risked my career trying to help victims and I've done that my entire career, but particularly early this year in February. I am willing to risk my career for you, for your family, and do what is right and hold those accountable to do what's right because law and order is going to come to South Carolina."

The remark came three days after Mace had launched her governor's race; the February reference was to her House floor speech in which she accused multiple men of sexual assault.
