In 1999, Mace became the first woman to graduate from the Corps of Cadets program at The Citadel. In 2008, Mace started a public relations and consulting firm called The Mace Group. In 2012, Mace partnered with FITSNews, a news website that covers South Carolina politics and current events, to build their website.
Mace worked for Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, but strongly condemned his actions after the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack. Mace asserted that Trump’s legacy had been “wiped out” and that he should be held “accountable” for his actions; however, she ultimately voted against impeaching him.
