  • 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.

  • Mace's Deepfake Bills and Takedown Power Without Process

    Rep. Nancy Mace's deepfake and revenge-porn bills, and the RESPECT Act she built to strengthen the TAKE IT DOWN Act's takedown regime, advance a removal system that the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a twelve-group civil-liberties coalition warn has no safeguard against false or bad-faith takedown demands: content comes offline on an unverified report, within 48 hours, with no process for the person who posted it. The harm these bills target is real, but the enforcement model hands a delete button to anyone willing to file a claim. This page documents that critique and the bills behind it.

  • Rape Shield Enhancement Act: Narrowing the Accused's Defense

    Of all Rep. Nancy Mace's women's-safety bills, the Rape Shield Enhancement Act (H.R. 10094, reintroduced as H.R. 3596) is the one aimed at the rights of the accused themselves. It would direct changes to the Federal Rules of Evidence that further restrict what a criminal defendant may introduce about an accuser and narrow the defense's access to an accuser's records. Legal authorities have long recognized that each expansion of rape-shield protection collides with the Sixth Amendment's Confrontation Clause and the accused's right to present a defense; this bill leans into that tension rather than resolving it.

  • Nancy Mace's Bills and the Rights of the Accused

    Rep. Nancy Mace has used her House Oversight chairmanship and her 'leading voice on women's issues' brand to advance a series of measures that strip protections from the accused: a resolution to publish accusations the House Ethics Committee never proved (rejected 357-65), a takedown regime that removes online content on an unverified report, and a bill narrowing what a criminal defendant may show a jury. Named legal and civil-liberties critics, and members of both parties, warn these erode due process and tilt the process against the accused. This page documents those measures first, then the full verified ledger of her women's-safety bills.
