Justin Baragona reported on October 5, 2023, on Campaign for Accountability's ethics complaint against Mace. The watchdog group filed an Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) complaint after Mace appeared on Fox Business from the U.S. Capitol Rotunda on October 4, 2023, explicitly soliciting campaign donations.
The complaint alleged Mace violated a federal law that bars soliciting political contributions in any federal building - specifically, the prohibition on soliciting or receiving donations in connection with an election "while in any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties," according to Campaign for Accountability. The watchdog noted the brazen nature of the solicitation, with Mace directly asking Fox viewers to contribute to her campaign while standing in the Capitol building itself.
