Nancy Mace Applauds SC Congressional Leaders Putting Parris Island First

October 9, 2020 (Charleston, S.C.) — Today, U.S. Representatives Joe Wilson and Ralph Norman (R-SC) introduced the Parris Island Protection Act in the House of Representatives. This bill will provide overdue protections for our crowned jewel, the Parris Island USMC training base in Beaufort County, by ensuring that federal funds cannot be used to close Parris Island.

Congressman Joe Cunningham (D-SC) and National Democrats played politics with the NDAA and they got caught. Now, members of the SC delegation are stepping up to provide our military the assistance and resources they need. The military provided National Democrats with clarity on exactly what was needed to meet their mandates but Congress Joe Cunningham and his party ignored it which could cost Beaufort County 6,000 jobs and $800 million in economic activity in the region.

Nancy Mace issued the following statement:

Instead of giving the Marine Corps the resources they needed, Congressman Cunningham and his party were more dedicated to playing politics with our military and put Parris Island on the chopping block. We must do better – the Lowcountry is enormously grateful to see other members of our SC delegation, who don’t even represent Parris Island, dedicated to saving it.

Just a couple weeks ago, The Commandant of the Marines state publicly that the policy put forth by House Democrats has forced the service to look elsewhere to train the marines. Enough is enough.

It’s time to do away with representation that puts their party above the people, especially those who put their party above our military, in Washington, those who put politics before Parris Island. It is time to look to solutions to protecting Parris Island.
