Nancy Mace under House Ethics investigation for alleged ‘improper reimbursement practices’
What's the endgame here?
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) is facing a House Ethics Committee investigation for allegedly engaging in “improper reimbursement practices” that led to the congresswoman receiving more money than her actual total amount of expenses.
According to a report released Monday, the Office of Congressional Conduct found enough evidence to suggest Mace sought reimbursements that “exceeded her reimbursable expenses incurred.”
“If Rep. Mace engaged in improper reimbursement practices, then she may have violated House rules, standards of conduct, and federal law,” the office wrote in its report.
Mace is running for governor of South Carolina in this year’s GOP primary. An early February poll from National Public Affairs shows Mace trailing Attorney General Alan Wilson, 17% to 23%. Another poll from Targoz Market Research late January to early February found Mace leading the field with 18%, compared to Wilson’s 12%.
Per the report, Mace used a House program that provides reimbursements while on official business in Washington, D.C. She sought reimbursements for most months between January 2023 and September 2024. During that time, she stayed in a home she owned with her then-fiancé, Brendan Patrick Bryant.
Under the program, she could seek reimbursements for costs such as utilities, homeowners’ association fees, insurance, and travel-related taxes. The figure could not be more than the total housing expenses incurred that month. But after reviewing invoices and documents, the OCC determined there were discrepancies between the amounts requested and received by Mace for reimbursement and the total of the associated bills.
“In 2023, Rep. Mace’s requests for reimbursement exceeded the total of the DC Property’s expenses in January, February, March, May, June, September, October, and November. In 2024, Rep. Mace’s requests for reimbursement exceeded the total of the DC Property’s expenses in January, March, April, and May—amounting to an excess of $9,485.46,” the OCC found.

The House Ethics Committee plans to review the matter, noting in a press release that conducting a review of the referral from the OCC “does not itself indicate that any violation has occurred.”
Mace’s counsel, William Sullivan, called the referral report “fundamentally flawed” in a letter to the House Ethics Committee’s chief counsel. Sullivan claimed the narrative includes “unverified assertions and referrals” that may have been …
