Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC-01) on Monday was selected to serve on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

“One of the promises I made to the people of the Lowcountry when I ran for Congress was that I would work to restart our economy and rebuild America. This starts with fixing our nation’s aging roads and infrastructure, which are in desperate need of repair in the Lowcountry,” Mace said in a release.

“Anyone who’s taken a road trip from Charleston to Beaufort knows our roads are a disaster. Our region’s airports, seaports, and railroads aren’t in much better shape. The Port of Charleston is the Lowcountry’s gateway to the world, and countless local families and businesses rely on this critical infrastructure to grow and thrive.

“As a new Member of the House T and I Committee, I will work to restore our roads and crumbling infrastructure, ensuring prosperity for the next generation of South Carolinians.”
