Nancy Mace defeated Chris Cox, Kathy Landing, and Brad Mole in the June 9, 2020, Republican primary for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District. Mace received 58 percent of the vote followed by Landing with 26 percent. The remaining candidates both received less than 10 percent of the vote. Mace faced incumbent Rep. Joe Cunningham (D), who ran for re-election.

The 1st District was one of 30 House Districts represented by a Democrat in 2020 that voted for Donald Trump (R) in 2016. Cunningham defeated Katie Arrington (R) in 2018 to win the open seat with 50.6 percent of the vote to Arrington's 49.2 percent. In 2016, Trump defeated Hillary Clinton (D) in the 1st District, receiving 53.5 percent of the vote to Clinton's 40.4 percent.

Until Cunningham's election in 2018, the 1st District had been represented by Republicans since 1981. South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Drew McKissick emphasized the competitiveness of the general election, saying, "The road to the majority of the House of Representatives [for Republicans] runs through the 1st Congressional District." He added, "We can't win the majority without that district."[1]

Landing and Mace led in fundraising and endorsements.

Landing had been a financial planner and member of the Mount Pleasant Town Council since 2017.[2] She received endorsements from the Republican Main Street Partnership PAC, House Freedom Fund, and former South Carolina U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint (R).[3]

Mace represented District 99 in the South Carolina House of Representatives. She previously worked in public relations and as a coalitions director on President Trump's 2016 campaign.[4] Her endorsers included Americans for Prosperity, Club for Growth PAC, and U.S. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).[5]

Key Messages

To read this candidate's full survey responses, click here.

There are currently no financial planners nor investment advisors in Congress. The number one job of a financial planner is to help create a budget and help individuals, families, and businesses pay for their current and future goals. We need an experienced financial planner in Congress.

Washington has too many attention-grabbing, negative politicians. Kathy is a strong, informed leader who works well with others to solve problems and cut through all the noise.

The government has gotten way out of hand with too many rules outside the intention of the Constitution. Kathy is an original intent Constitutionalist who believes that rolling back a lot of policy and securing the freedoms that our Founding Fathers, the framers, and our military have fought and died for is of the utmost importance.

Primaries in South Carolina

A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. South Carolina utilizes an open primary system, in which registered voters do not have to be members of a party to vote in that party's primary. Voters must take an oath affirming that they have not voted in another party's primary.[12][13]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

What's at stake in the general election?

U.S. House elections were held on November 3, 2020, and coincided with the 2020 presidential election. All 435 House districts were up for election, and the results determined control of the U.S. House in the 117th Congress.

At the time of the election, Democrats had a 232-197 advantage over Republicans. There was one Libertarian member, and there were five vacancies. Republicans needed to gain a net 21 seats to win control of the House. Democrats needed to gain seats or lose fewer than 14 net seats to keep their majority.

In the 2018 midterm election, Democrats had a net gain of 40 seats, winning a 235-200 majority in the House. Heading into the 2018 election, Republicans had a 235-193 majority with seven vacancies.

In the 25 previous House elections that coincided with a presidential election, the president's party had gained House seats in 16 elections and lost seats in nine. In years where the president's party won districts, the average gain was 18. In years where the president's party lost districts, the average loss was 27.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[14]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[15][16][17]

District analysis

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index
See also: FiveThirtyEight's elasticity scores

The 2017 Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+10, meaning that in the previous two presidential elections, this district's results were 10 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made South Carolina's 1st Congressional District the 137th most Republican nationally.[18]

FiveThirtyEight's September 2018 elasticity score for states and congressional districts measured "how sensitive it is to changes in the national political environment." This district's elasticity score was 0.97. This means that for every 1 point the national political mood moved toward a party, the district was expected to move 0.97 points toward that party.[19]
