Incumbent U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R) won the Republican primary election for South Carolina's 1st Congressional District on June 11, 2024. Mace received 56.8% of the vote. Catherine Templeton (R) finished in second with 29.8%, and Bill Young (R) finished in third with 13.4%.
According to The Post and Courier, South Carolina's 1st Congressional District was considered "the most moderate of South Carolina’s six Republican-held congressional districts, covering a geographic area that stretches from greater Charleston to Hilton Head Island."[1] In 2020, Mace defeated then-Incumbent U.S. Rep. Joe Cunningham (D) after the district was redrawn following redistricting and won re-election in 2022.
As of May 22, 2024, Mace’s led the field in campaign spending with $1.7 million, followed by Templteton ($407,104) and Young ($8,559).
Mace said she believed inflation, abortion, and immigration were the three most important issues for voters in the district.[2] Mace said she would work to reduce taxes, increase domestic energy production, ensure women’s access to all forms of contraception without a doctor’s visit, and reduce immigration through the U.S.-Mexico border.[3][4][5] Mace described herself as unafraid to cross party lines, referring to her support of abortion and her vote to remove former Speaker of the U.S. House Kevin McCarthy (R). Mace said, "I would say I'm not your typical conservative because when I agree with my party, I support them, and when I disagree, I call my party out, and I do it over and over again."[6] Former President Donald Trump (R) and Speaker of the U.S. House Mike Johnson (R) endorsed Mace.[1][7]
Templeton said she supported America First policies, a term often associated with the platform of former President Trump and candidates who say they support his platform.[8] Templeton said she would focus on building a border wall at the U.S.-Mexico border, shifting American supply chains to be more dependent on domestic labor, and reducing inflation and government spending.[9] Templeton said her experience as South Carolina's director of labor, licensing, and regulation from 2011-2012 uniquely qualified her for Congress because it demonstrated her experience reducing government spending and limiting immigration. Templeton said, "I was in Columbia busting bureaucracy. We killed about $68 million in waste in 18 months – reduced bureaucracy by 20%. At the time, I was credited with writing the toughest immigration law in the nation.”[8]
Young completed Ballotpedia's candidate connection survey. In it, Young said his primary campaign messages were limiting immigration through the U.S.-Mexico border, improving veteran services, supporting the military with long-term foreign policy plans, and advocating for fiscal responsibility. Young said his military experience would help him work on issues affecting military veterans. Young said, “Being a Marine veteran, I’m uniquely qualified to help our veterans, to listen to them, and talk to them every day. They are a huge population in our district, and they are an underserved community.”[10]
The Cook Political Report with Amy Walter and Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rated the district as "likely Republican," and Larry J. Sabato's Crystal Ball rated the district as a "safe Republican" seat.
This is one of 15 elections across the country in which Speaker of the U.S. House Mike Johnson endorsed a Republican candidate in a primary race. Twelve endorsees have advanced from their primaries. One endorsee withdrew. Three of these races have not occurred. To see a full list of these endorsements click here.

Submitted Biography: " I was born in South Carolina and graduated from Marine Corps boot camp in Parris Island in 2006. Deployed to Iraq in 2008 and received my Honorable Discharge in 2010. Following the Marine Corps, I went to N.C. State. There I earned my Bachelors of Science in Economics an graduated in 2015. While in college I volunteered a lot of my time in assisting veterans and helping create programs to assist veterans. After graduating, I became a financial advisor until 2018. At that time seven of my Marine colleagues had taken their own life, and I was going through survivors guilt. I decided to slow life down and focus on mental health, and other veterans. It was suggested to find a hobby as a distraction, that's when I found golf as a great distraction and therapeutic endeavor. Then I found other organizations/non profits were created to foster this environment and activity. I came down to Charleston for PGA HOPE and I was hooked. I decided to move here because of the golf communities support for veterans. I'm now the South Carolina Director for the Veteran Golfers Association. We enrich veterans lives through the camaraderie and sportsmanship of golf. I look forward to not only serving Veterans, but also all of the constituents in South Carolina's 1st District. "

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.[11]
- 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.[12][13][14]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in South Carolina in 2024. Information below was calculated on April 23, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Twenty-nine candidates ran for South Carolina’s seven U.S. House districts, including 11 Democrats and 18 Republicans. That’s 4.14 candidates per district, more than the four candidates per district in 2022 and the 2.86 candidates in 2020.
The 3rd Congressional District was the only open district, meaning the incumbent did not file to run. The only other election cycle this decade when an incumbent did not run for re-election was 2018.
Incumbent Jeff Duncan (R-3rd) did not run for re-election because he is retired from public office.
Nine candidates—two Democrats and seven Republicans—ran for the open 3rd Congressional District, the most candidates that ran for a seat in South Carolina in 2024.
Nine primaries—four Democratic and five Republican—were contested in 2024, tying with 2018 for the most this decade.
Three incumbents—Nancy Mace (R-1st), Joe Wilson (R-2nd), and William Timmons (R-4th)—were in contested primaries.
Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all seven districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+7. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 7 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made South Carolina's 1st the 174th most Republican district nationally.[18]
2020 presidential election results
