Congresswoman Nancy Mace grew up in the Lowcountry. She is the daughter of a retired Army General and retired school teacher.
Before being sworn into Congress, Nancy earned accolades as one of the most fiscally conservative members of the South Carolina General Assembly; she’s also one of the most pro-conservation lawmakers in the state of South Carolina.
Nancy grew up in Goose Creek, S.C. And when she dropped out of high school at the age of 17, her parents said, “If you’re going to stop going to school, you got to start going to work.” She immediately became a waitress at the Waffle House on College Park Road in Ladson (exit 203).
The Lowcountry depends on the preservation of our region’s natural beauty for our economic prosperity. This includes our wildlife, too! Millions of people come from all around the world each year to visit our little corner of the world. We have pristine waters, beautiful beaches, forests and marshlands.Not to mention our great food and hospitality! This creates hundreds of thousands of jobs and over $10 billion in economic revenue each year.
I’m committed to doing all I can to ensure our environment is preserved, but environmental protection and free markets aren’t mutually exclusive.
We should be empowering communities, families, and businesses to continue to protect our environment.
