Hi – my name is Nancy Lacore, and I’m running for Congress in SC-01.
When Pete Hegseth removed me after 35 years of serving our country in the Navy, I learned this the hard way: when leadership loses integrity, real people pay the price.
South Carolinians are facing that same reality under Nancy Mace. I’m running for Congress because I refuse to accept that this is just “how things work now.”
I’m running because integrity matters.
I’ve served our country at the highest levels of government. I’ve seen leadership done right: principled, accountable, and results-oriented. But I’ve experienced firsthand what happens when experience is sidelined without explanation.
That kind of leadership doesn’t just hurt institutions. It hurts families, communities, our nation, and it erodes hard-earned trust.
Over the course of Mace’s term, integrity hasn’t just taken a backseat – it’s been replaced with chaos, negligence, and political theater. She’s verbally abused constituents, fueled reckless conspiracy theories, and used the halls of Congress to air personal grievances.
We can do better.
I promise to put our communities before ambition and be accountable to the people I serve. I lived it for 35 years, and I don’t plan to stop now. If you believe in doing the job the right way and setting a higher standard, please consider splitting a donation between my campaign and Eileen Laubacher's.
With my deepest respect and gratitude,
Nancy Lacore
Democratic Candidate for Congress
South Carolina’s First District
