Tonight a year of hard work and grassroots support culminated in a resounding primary victory for Republican nominee Nancy Mace.

After previously breaking glass ceilings as the first female graduate of The Citadel, Nancy Mace broke records for fundraising and grassroots reaction in her 30 point victory over four opponents, easily avoiding a runoff election.

The following is a statement from Rep. Nancy Mace:

“Today is a great day for a lot of reasons. For every independent thinker in the Lowcountry, it’s day one of our new mission – to unite together to take back the Lowcountry.

I insisted on running a positive campaign about the voters and their issues and why I was the best candidate to represent them.

I’m proud to say we did it.

My democrat opponent votes with Nancy Pelosi 85 percent of the time. That is not what most of the Lowcountry believes or deserves.

The fight to end Nancy Pelosi’s hold on our district starts tonight.

I have a message for my opponent, for Speaker Pelosi, for the National Democrat Party – I’m coming for you. We are coming for you. We are going to take back this seat for the Lowcountry.”
