Pursuant to Committee Rule 7, the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Committee on Ethics (Committee) determined to release the following statement:

On December 2, 2025, the Committee received a referral from the Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC), regarding Representative Nancy Mace. Pursuant to House Rule XI, clause 3(b)(8)(A), and Committee Rules 17A(b)(1)(A) and 17A(c)(1), on January 16, 2026, the Committee extended its review of the matter. As the Committee noted in its January 16, 2026, public statement, under House Rule XI, clause 3(b)(8)(A) and Committee Rule 17A, the Committee on this date is now required to announce its course of action in this matter. In order to gather additional information necessary to complete its review, the Committee will review the matter pursuant to Committee Rule 18(a). The Committee notes that the mere fact of conducting further review of a referral, and any mandatory disclosure of such further review, does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred, or reflect any judgment on behalf of the Committee.

In order to comply with Committee Rule 7 regarding confidentiality, out of fairness to all respondents, and to assure the integrity of its work, the Committee will refrain from making further public statements on this matter pending completion of its initial review.

House Rule XI, clause 3(b)(8)(A) and Committee Rule 17A require that the Committee publish OCC's Report and Findings relating to allegations against Representative Mace on this day. The Committee also hereby publishes Representative Mace's submission, which was submitted to the Committee on December 17, 2025.
