Nancy Mace introduced 90 bills this Congress. Zero became law.

Rep. Nancy Mace, in a Sept. 1, 2026 interview with Tara Palmeri, acknowledged she introduced 90 bills this Congress and that zero became law. Asked what she actually accomplished without Nancy Mace, she pointed to the 'bully pulpit.'

Mace wants a bill to ban staff from living with members. Her own staff say they lived with her.

On August 17, 2026, Sources Say News, the Capitol Hill outlet founded by reporter Juliegrace Brufke, reported that Rep. Nancy Mace's new push to bar House members from living with their staff runs into her own history. Mace introduced two resolutions on July 30, 2026, H.Res.1465 (no sexual relationships with House employees) and H.Res.1466 (no cohabitating with House employees, married couples excepted), pitching them with the line 'a boss and a roommate should never be the same person.' Multiple former Mace aides told the outlet that a senior campaign aide lived in an apartment above the garage at her Daniel Island home during her first campaign, and that in spring 2022 a senior aide was put up in the basement of her D.C. townhouse, sleeping behind a curtain a few feet from where Mace made her morning coffee. Mace's office flatly denies she ever lived with staff or maintained a 'crash pad,' and one source and a bill proponent draw a distinction between a short platonic stay in a separate space and living with a staffer.

Senate Bill Would End Congress Members' 'Special Treatment' at Airport Security

The House rejects Mace's bid to release unproven harassment records, 357-65

On March 4, 2026, the House voted 357-65 to reject Rep. Nancy Mace's resolution directing the Ethics Committee to publicly release its records of alleged member sexual misconduct, including allegations the Committee had never substantiated. The bipartisan objection was about due process: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said the measure was rushed and could expose both the accused and victims to the release of unproven claims, and the Ethics Committee warned it would chill victim cooperation. The lopsided vote made it the rare Mace women's-safety measure that even most of her own party would not support as written.
