Scalise and Haridopolos came to Charleston. Honeycutt's public thank-you named them, Biggs, Wilkins, and CHBA, but not Mace.

On August 19, 2026, Jenny Costa Honeycutt for Congress posted a public thank-you from Charleston. The post said she had welcomed House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Rep. Mike Haridopolos "to Charleston for a special event," then joined them with "more than 1,500 patriots" for Rep. Sheri Biggs' Salute to Liberty.

The visible public record names Scalise, Haridopolos, Biggs, former ambassador David Wilkins, Honeycutt's former law partners, and CHBA's annual legislative barbecue. It does not name Rep. Nancy Mace, whose South Carolina 1st Congressional District includes Charleston.

What Honeycutt posted

Honeycutt wrote:

"I was honored to welcome House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Congressman Mike Haridopolos to Charleston for a special event and then join them with more than 1,500 patriots for Rep. Sheri Biggs' Salute to Liberty honoring the brave men and women who serve our nation, our communities, and keep us safe every day."

She continued that she was "incredibly grateful" to Congresswoman Biggs and her former law partners for a breakfast that brought together supporters including former Ambassador David Wilkins. The same post says Honeycutt also addressed CHBA's annual legislative barbecue.

The missing local name

Charleston is inside Mace's district. That is the useful public receipt here: Honeycutt's post presents a Charleston Republican circuit with national House leadership and multiple congressional figures, but its public thank-you does not include the sitting member whose district includes the city.

That omission does not, by itself, prove who was invited, who was notified, or what private scheduling conversations happened. It does show what Honeycutt chose to put in the public record after Scalise and Haridopolos came through Charleston: Biggs was named, Haridopolos was named, Scalise was named, and Mace was not.

Why it fits the August pattern

The Scalise stop follows a run of public South Carolina Republican moments where Mace has been present only at the edge of the record, or absent from the public thanks:

• At the August 10 Joint Base Charleston renaming ceremony, Mace attended but had no speaking role, while administration officials, Gov. Henry McMaster, Sen. Darline Graham Nordone, and base leadership took the podium.
• On August 19, Honeycutt's public post put Scalise, Haridopolos, Biggs, Wilkins, and CHBA into the Charleston record, but not Mace.

The narrow point is not that Facebook proves the whole invite chain. It does not. The point is that the public-facing Republican record from Charleston keeps naming other people.
