Staff Turnover in Nancy Mace's Office
Nancy Mace's congressional and campaign operations have shown a recurring pattern of rapid staff departures: her entire nine-member Washington office turned over within three months in late 2023, a senior campaign consultant resigned publicly in December 2025, and four staff members, including Mace herself, declined to cooperate with the House Ethics Committee's 2025-2026 reimbursement investigation. Mace disputes former staffers' accounts of her management, and has in turn accused some ex-aides of sabotage; those competing accounts are contested and unadjudicated.
