Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney endorsed South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace over her Republican primary challenger backed by former President Trump
Mace announced she had received Mulvaney’s endorsement in a Monday press release, where the former Trump White House chief backed the congresswoman as “a proven fiscally conservative leader for South Carolina and the Lowcountry.”
“Getting things done in Washington isn’t easy and it doesn’t have to be a nasty business – especially when Members of Congress put their constituents’ needs before partisan politics,” Mulvaney said. “The fact Congresswoman Mace held over 1,000 meetings in the district in her first year in office shows how she is dedicating everything she has to the Lowcountry.”
“Her voting record is exceptional when it comes to promoting smaller government and lower taxes,” he continued. “And refreshingly, actually she works overtime to get things done in Congress. I support her 100 percent.”
Mace praised Mulvaney, a former South Carolina congressman himself, as having “served his country and our state with distinction and honor.””He is a proven fiscal conservative leader. He knows how difficult it is to flip a seat and then keep it,” Mace said in the release. “Mick understands putting your constituents first sometimes means bucking the party line and that principles matter.”
