Laurens County Republican Party Forum with Nancy Mace Postponed Due to Congressional Duties
February 23, 2026
The Laurens County Republican Party has announced that its scheduled public forum featuring gubernatorial candidate and U.S. Congresswoman Nancy Mace has been postponed after the congresswoman was required to remain in Washington, D.C., for official duties.
Originally planned for Thursday, February 26, the event was intended to give local residents an opportunity to hear directly from Mace as part of the lead-up to South Carolina’s 2026 Republican gubernatorial primary.
Party leaders stated that the postponement was unavoidable due to congressional responsibilities that required Mace’s presence in the nation’s capital. A new date is expected to be announced once her schedule allows.
Commitment to Bringing Candidates to Laurens County
The Laurens County Republican Party emphasized that hosting candidate forums remains a top priority as the primary season approaches. These events are designed to provide voters with direct access to those seeking statewide office and to encourage informed participation in the electoral process.
The forum was to include remarks from Mace outlining her vision for South Carolina, followed by a question-and-answer session and time for attendees to meet the candidate.
Organizers say they remain committed to rescheduling the event so that Laurens County residents will still have the opportunity to engage with one of the state’s highest-profile candidates in person.
About the 2026 Race
Mace, who represents South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District, is one of several Republicans seeking the party’s nomination for governor in 2026, a race that has drawn significant statewide attention.
What’s Next
Updated details, including a new date, time, and location, will be released by the Laurens County Republican Party as soon as they are confirmed. Community members are encouraged to watch official party communications for the announcement.
