Republican Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina says she plans to start a statewide series of town halls this week in Myrtle Beach now that she’s running for governor. Mace enters a GOP primary in which competition for President Donald Trump’s endorsement is expected to be fierce. Mace announced her candidacy Monday in Charleston. The congresswoman plans to focus on criminal justice, fiscal responsibility, education and energy grid improvements. Mace says she’ll seek Trump’s support, saying she stands out in the GOP field as having best advanced his agenda for South Carolinians. Attorney General Alan Wilson, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and Rep. Ralph Norman have already entered the GOP race.
