Rep. Nancy Mace Introduces Bill to Ban Synthetic Dyes from America's Food, Medicine, and Cosmetics
Position: Introduces legislation to prohibit synthetic certified color additives such as Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5, and Blue No. 1 in food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics, with a two-year reformulation window and a three-year HHS reporting requirement.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Oct. 29, 2026) – Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced the Eliminating Dangerous Color Additives Act, legislation to remove synthetic certified color additives from food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics sold in the United States.
Among these are Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5, and Blue No. 1. Americans unknowingly consume these synthetic food dyes every day. They are found in everything from breakfast cereals and candy to sports drinks, children's medicine, and cosmetics, only serving one purpose: to make products look more colorful on store shelves.
“Synthetic dyes are tied to serious health and behavioral concerns, and provide no meaningful purpose beyond making products look prettier on the shelf,” said Congresswoman Mace. “American families deserve ingredients chosen for their health, not a marketing strategy. If an ingredient is detrimental, it has no business being in your food, your medicine, or your makeup. We're giving manufacturers two years to clean up their products.”
Under the Eliminating Dangerous Color Additives Act:
Prohibition: Beginning two years after enactment, the Secretary of Health and Human Services must deem unsafe, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, every synthetic certified color additive subject to batch-by-batch FDA testing and certification, along with their lake forms, for use in or on food, drugs, devices, and cosmetics.
Reformulation window: The two-year window provides manufacturers with the time needed to reformulate and improve their products.
Accountability: Within three years, HHS, acting through the FDA, must report to the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate HELP Committee on industry reformulation progress, regulatory changes, and recommendations for further congressional action.
The bill does not affect color additives exempt from certification, primarily those naturally derived from fruits, vegetables, and other plant sources.
The Eliminating Dangerous Color Additives Act is part of Rep. Mace’s broader Make America Healthy Again agenda, alongside the Eliminating Dangerous Preservatives Act, the REAL Sugar Act, the PEPTIDES for Veterans Act, the SOUND Pesticide Research Act, the Pesticide Transparency on Federal Land Act, the Pesticide Harm Accountability Act, and the Pesticide Data Transparency Act.

Rep. Nancy Mace Introduces Bill To Ban Three Dangerous Preservatives Found On America’s Grocery Shelves
Position: Rep. Mace introduced the Eliminating Dangerous Preservatives Act, which would classify food containing BHA, BHT, or TBHQ as adulterated under federal law, with a two-year manufacturer reformulation period before the ban takes effect.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Oct. 26, 2026) – Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace introduced the Eliminating Dangerous Preservatives Act to crack down on harmful preservatives in our food supply and put the health of American families first.
The bill would ban butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) from food intended for human consumption by classifying food with these ingredients as adulterated under federal law. Manufacturers would have two years to reformulate their products before the ban takes effect.
“You should not need a chemistry degree to figure out what is in your food,” said Congresswoman Mace. “Butylated hydroxyanisole. Butylated hydroxytoluene. Tertiary butylhydroquinone. Most Americans cannot even pronounce these preservatives, yet they are in the food on our grocery store shelves. Enough is enough. It is time to put American health ahead of corporate convenience. We are cleaning up America’s food supply and holding manufacturers accountable.”
The Eliminating Dangerous Preservatives Act would:
Ban three preservatives from the food supply: Classify any food intended for human consumption containing BHA, BHT, or TBHQ as adulterated under federal law, banning their sale, manufacturing, and distribution.
Give manufacturers two years to reformulate: Establish a two-year implementation freeze before new restrictions take effect.
Require federal regulations: Direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue regulations implementing the new requirements.
Demand accountability: Require a report to Congress three years after implementation detailing food manufacturers’ reformulation efforts, and recommendations for additional legislative or regulatory action.
The Eliminating Dangerous Preservatives Act is part of Rep. Mace’s broader Make America Healthy Again agenda, alongside the REAL Sugar Act, the PEPTIDES for Veterans Act, the SOUND Pesticide Research Act, the Pesticide Transparency on Federal Land Act, the Pesticide Harm Accountability Act, and the Pesticide Data Transparency Act.

Rep. Nancy Mace Introduces Bill To Expose How Many Dual Citizens Work In The Federal Government
Position: Introduces the Dual Citizen Disclosure Act, which would require the Office of Personnel Management to publish annually a public list of federal employees who hold citizenship in a foreign country, along with their agency, position title, and pay. The sponsor argues taxpayers deserve this transparency about federal employees' loyalties.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Oct. 22, 2026) – Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced the Dual Citizen Disclosure Act, legislation requiring an annual public accounting of every federal employee on the taxpayer-funded payroll who holds citizenship in a foreign country.
“Taxpayers fund the paychecks. Taxpayers deserve to know where the loyalties lie,” said Congresswoman Mace. “Right now, Americans have no way of knowing how many federal employees are citizens of another country. If someone on the federal payroll holds citizenship in any country other than the United States, the American people have a right to know. This bill ends the guesswork. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and transparency in our government is not optional.”
The bill amends Section 1103 of Title 5, United States Code, which sets out the functions of the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Under the legislation, the OPM Director must publish the list on OPM’s public website no later than one year after the bill becomes law and every year after.
The list covers each officer or employee of the federal government who is a U.S. citizen or national and is also a citizen or national of, or otherwise owes allegiance to, a country other than the United States. For each individual, the list must identify:
The foreign countries of which the individual is a citizen or national
The federal agency where the individual works
The title and annual rate of pay of the individual’s position
“Federal service is not a part-time commitment to America. You serve this country, and only this country. End of story,” Mace added.

Rep. Nancy Mace Introduces Bill to Put Parents in Charge of Their Children's Education
Position: Introduces the School Freedom Act of 2026, which would replace existing federal K-12 education programs with per-student School Freedom Accounts that parents could use for public, private, charter, homeschool, or other approved educational expenses.
WASHINGTON, DC. (Oct. 15, 2026) - Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) introduced the School Freedom Act of 2026, legislation empowering parents, not Washington bureaucrats, to decide where their children's federal education dollars go.
The School Freedom Act creates School Freedom Accounts, allowing federal education funding to follow the student instead of the system. Parents could direct those funds toward public schools, private schools, charter schools, homeschool curriculum, tutoring, career and technical education, online learning, and other approved educational expenses.
"Parents know their children better than any bureaucrat in Washington ever will," said Congresswoman Mace. "For decades, we've poured billions into a one-size-fits-all education system while student achievement has stagnated and families have been left with fewer choices. It's time to put parents back in the driver's seat."
Under the legislation, existing federal elementary and secondary education programs would be phased out and replaced with School Freedom Accounts funded on a per-student basis. Families who choose to keep their children in public school can direct those federal funds to their local public school. Families who choose another educational path can use those same federal dollars for approved educational expenses which best meet their child's needs. The bill would also allow states to contribute state dollars to the accounts and parents to make tax-advantaged contributions to the accounts.
The legislation also allows unused funds to roll over into a Higher Education and Skills Obtainment Fund, giving students the opportunity to use remaining federal education dollars for college, career and technical education, or other eligible postsecondary education expenses.
"Our goal is simple: every child deserves access to the best education possible," Mace added. "This bill gives families more choices and the freedom to invest in the educational path best suited for their child."
The School Freedom Act also preserves the independence of private, religious, and homeschool education providers while giving parents greater flexibility to customize their children's education through tutoring, educational therapies, online coursework, vocational training, testing, instructional materials, and other qualifying educational services.
If enacted, the transition would begin immediately, with existing federal K-12 education programs phased out by June 30, 2027, and School Freedom Accounts available beginning with the 2027-2028 school year.
This bill has the support of Club for Growth, a leading advocacy organization supporting school choice.

Rep. Nancy Mace Doubles Down on Protecting Survivors and Holding Predators Accountable
Position: The release states Rep. Mace's commitment to strengthening victims' rights, holding sexual predators accountable, and combating voyeurism and digital exploitation, and lists legislation she has introduced on these subjects.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Oct. 14, 2026) – Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) reaffirmed her commitment to protecting women and standing with survivors by advancing legislation to strengthen victims’ rights and hold sexual predators accountable.
"Protecting women and holding predators accountable isn't a slogan. It's been one of my top priorities in Congress. For too long, survivors have faced broken systems while predators exploited loopholes and walked free,” said Congresswoman Mace. “We’ve introduced legislation to strengthen victims' rights, crack down on voyeurism and digital exploitation, protect women and children, and make sure predators, not victims, face the consequences. Every survivor deserves to be heard. Every victim deserves justice. Every predator deserves accountability. We will not stop fighting until our laws put victims first and predators behind bars."
Since taking office, Congresswoman Mace has led efforts in Congress to strengthen protections for survivors, increase accountability for sexual predators, combat voyeurism and digital exploitation, defend the privacy and safety of women and girls, and advance legislation which puts victims first.

Rep. Nancy Mace Introduces Bill to Make Abusers Pay for Suing Survivors Into Silence
Position: Introduces the Speak Your Truth Act, which would require plaintiffs to pay a survivor's attorney's fees and costs if the survivor prevails in a defamation suit over factual, good-faith statements about sexual assault, sexual harassment, or discrimination they personally experienced, including in federal court.
WASHINGTON, D.C., (Oct. 12, 2026) – Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced the Speak Your Truth Act, legislation to protect survivors from perpetrators who use defamation lawsuits to silence them.
Under the bill, a survivor who prevails in a defamation or libel case brought against them in federal court would be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, paid by the plaintiff. The protection covers factual statements, made without malice, about sexual assault, sexual harassment, or discrimination the speaker personally experienced. This includes workplace harassment and discrimination, retaliation for reporting or opposing it, and harassment or discrimination by the owner of a housing authority accommodation. It applies to cases filed in or removed to federal court.
“Survivors should never have to choose between their voice and their bank account,” said Congresswoman Mace. “If you are a survivor telling the truth about what happened to you, the last thing you should fear is being bankrupted by the person who hurt you for telling it. Too often, abusers use the courts as a weapon. They file the lawsuit, run up the legal bills, and wait for survivors to go away. The Speak Your Truth Act changes the math. Sue a survivor for telling the truth and lose, and you pay. The truth is not defamation.”
Defending a defamation suit can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many survivors stay silent rather than risk it. The Speak Your Truth Act puts the cost of a failed suit where it belongs: on the person who filed it.
Professor Victoria Burke, Esq., of Southwestern Law School, an attorney and advocate who has worked to end the use of retaliatory defamation lawsuits to silence survivors, provided the following statement in support of the bill:
"As the architect of the Speak Your Truth Act nationwide movement, I have witnessed firsthand how protecting survivors transcends political divisions. Already enacted in five states with bipartisan support, this legislation reflects a simple principle: survivors deserve to be heard, not silenced. I am especially grateful to Congresswoman Nancy Mace for bringing this legislation to Congress. A survivor herself, she understands the threat of retaliatory defamation lawsuits firsthand. After courageously speaking out about her own experience, she faced a defamation lawsuit. Her experience underscores precisely why these protections are so urgently needed,” said Burke.
Burke also pointed to the Epstein files vote as evidence of why survivors need these protections.
“We saw Democrats and Republicans unite in an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote to release the Epstein files. Yet even on Capitol Hill, brave Epstein survivors feared naming their alleged abusers because of the threat of retaliatory defamation lawsuits. No survivor should fear being sued into silence for speaking about sexual abuse. The Speak Your Truth Act seeks to change that by protecting survivors who speak out in good faith from weaponized defamation lawsuits. Every survivor deserves the freedom to speak their truth,” added Burke.

Congresswoman Nancy Mace Statement on the Third Anniversary of October 7
Position: The release affirms support for Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas and calls for confronting antisemitism on campuses, in communities, and in politics.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (Oct. 7, 2026) – Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace released the following statement on the third anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel:
"Three years ago, Hamas terrorists murdered over 1,200 men, women, and children in Israel, including 49 Americans, and dragged 251 hostages into Gaza. It was the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
"A year ago, we called for every hostage to come home. Today, for the first time in three years, none remain in Gaza.
"'Never Again' cannot be just a slogan. It means standing with Israel's right to defend itself against those who seek its destruction. It means confronting antisemitism on our campuses, in our communities, and in our politics.
"Evil showed us exactly who it was. We will not look away.
"God bless Israel, and God bless the United States of America."

Rep. Nancy Mace Celebrates Groundbreaking For New Beaufort County VA Clinic
Position: Rep. Mace supported a $30.4 million authorization for a new VA outpatient clinic in Beaufort County and states a commitment to expanding veterans' access to care.
PORT ROYAL, S.C. (Oct. 6, 2026) – Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace marked an important milestone for Lowcountry veterans with the groundbreaking of the new Department of Veterans Affairs Community-Based Outpatient Clinic in Beaufort County. As a member of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Rep. Mace supported a $30.4 million authorization for the facility to deliver Lowcountry veterans timely, high-quality care close to home.
"This groundbreaking is more than the start of a construction project. It is a promise to our veterans," said Congresswoman Mace. "For years, veterans across the Lowcountry have waited for better access to care. Now, a facility built just for them is finally on the way. Nearly 17,000 veterans call Beaufort County home, and they deserve first-class healthcare close to home. Not long drives. Not red tape. Not bureaucratic delays."
The clinic, located at 1844 Ribaut Road in Port Royal near Parris Island and MCAS Beaufort, will expand access to primary care, mental health services, specialty care, and other critical VA programs. The project will also create construction and healthcare jobs across the Lowcountry.
"Our obligation to support our servicemembers does not end once their military service does," Mace added. "Our responsibility continues long after every uniform comes off. We will keep working until every veteran receives the care they earned. Washington should deliver results, not excuses."
The clinic is expected to open in 2028 and represents a major investment in improving healthcare access for veterans across South Carolina's First Congressional District.

Rep. Nancy Mace's Jobs Bill Heads To President's Desk
Position: Rep. Mace supports the Skills-Based Federal Contracting Act, which would bar federal agencies from imposing minimum degree or experience requirements in contract solicitations unless the agency provides written justification that such standards are essential to mission needs. The release states the bill has passed both chambers and is headed to the President.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Oct. 1, 2026) – If you can do the job, you shouldn't need a diploma to prove it. That's the idea behind Congresswoman Nancy Mace's (SC-01) Skills-Based Federal Contracting Act, which passed the Senate unanimously late last night and now goes to President Trump to be signed into law.
Right now, federal agencies can require degrees or years of experience for contract work, even when those requirements have nothing to do with the job. Mace's bill changes that. Under the bill, agencies can only demand those credentials if they put in writing why they're truly needed.
The result: more skilled Americans get a fair shot at government work, more companies can compete, and taxpayers get the best people for the job.
"The best people for the job can now get the job,” said Congresswoman Mace. "For too long, Washington has rewarded unnecessary college degrees over proven work skills and shut hardworking Americans out of job opportunities. My bill tears down this wall down and puts merit and skills first. If you can do the job, you deserve the job. Taxpayers deserve the best results, and America deserves the best workforce built on skill known to man."
The Skills-Based Federal Contracting Act prohibits federal agencies from including minimum education or experience requirements in contract solicitations unless they provide a written justification demonstrating those standards are essential to meeting mission needs. The legislation expands opportunities for skilled American workers, promotes greater competition, and helps ensure taxpayer dollars are spent on the most qualified talent rather than unnecessary credential requirements.
If signed by President Trump, the bill will become law, marking a bipartisan milestone in modernizing the federal contracting process and expanding opportunities for skilled American workers. The last republican before Rep. Mace to have a bill signed in to law was Congressman Henry Brown more than 25 years ago, in 2010.
“Talent doesn't always come with a college diploma attached," added Congresswoman Mace.

Congresswoman Nancy Mace Weighs In On Horrific South Carolina Child Stabbing
Position: The release calls for a firm criminal justice response to the stabbing of two children, arguing that anyone who harms children should not be allowed to go free again and that the case is criminal rather than mental health related.
SPARTANBURG, S.C., (Sept, 30, 2026) - Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace released the following statement on the stabbing of two children in Spartanburg County:
"Two young children are fighting for their lives because the one person meant to protect them became their greatest threat.
"We're sick of seeing this headline. Sick of hearing the excuses. There is NO excuse for this.
"In South Carolina, we protect our children. Anyone who harms them should never walk free again.
"This is not mental. This is criminal. And it's time our justice system sends a clear message.
"We're praying for these two babies and their full recovery."
