Nancy Mace has decided against running for the Senate seat left open by the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, choosing instead to finish out her time in the House of Representatives, where she says she is focused on unfinished battles over accountability for women and the release of files tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
In a video statement released Monday, the South Carolina Republican explained that she is not backing away from a fight but is committed to the work she is already doing in Congress.
“The laws meant to protect me and other women failed us, and I won’t stop until that changes,” Mace said.
Mace added that she is “chasing justice” rather than another title.
“So I’m not chasing another title, I’m chasing justice. Justice for me, justice for other women, and justice for every little girl who was told to stay silent,” she said.
“Serving South Carolina has been the honor of my life, and I will continue to voice our values everywhere I can. I’m even going to sh-tpost from time to time because someone has to call out the dumbasses, because if we don’t, we as a country will be gone,” Mace continued.
“I love you. I want to thank you for the thousands of calls and text messages and offers to help in a race like this, and I want to say God bless you. Serving you has been the honor of my life, and I will never forget it,” she concluded.

I’m not running for the Senate – because I have some unfinished business. Since I stood on that House floor, I’ve been fighting for every woman and girl who was told to stay silent. I want justice – and that day is coming.
Thank you for all your support, all the calls and texts.… pic.twitter.com/YtKmuuznP9

A Republican primary for the seat is set for August 11.
Candidates already in or exploring the race include Rep. Ralph Norman, Rep. Russell Fry, Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline Nordone Graham, who was appointed to finish the current term, and America First businessman Mark Lynch.
Mace had previously hinted that she was exploring throwing her hat into the ring after losing her gubernatorial bid, which she gave up her House seat to pursue.
