Rep. Nancy Mace Delivers Real Results For South Carolina Seniors

CHARLESTON, S.C. (May 28, 2026) - Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC-01) has made protecting South Carolina seniors a cornerstone of her work in Congress. From pushing strong legislation to safeguard Social Security, Medicare, and crack down on senior fraud and exploitation, to championing landmark tax relief in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, to solving over 1,000 constituent cases with federal agencies and returning over $1.5 million directly to constituents, Rep. Mace has cut through the bureaucracy to protect what seniors earned and deliver real results.

"South Carolina seniors deserve a representative who shows up and delivers results, not one who makes promises and disappears," said Congresswoman Mace. "We have returned over $1.5 million directly to constituents, supported major tax relief so seniors keep more of what they earned, and introduced legislation to make sure every benefit seniors earned stays in their hands. South Carolina seniors deserve nothing less and we are not done yet."
