Republicans nominated another strong, female candidate during Tuesday night’s primaries. Nancy Mace, a former state representative and the first female graduate of The Citadel, clinched the GOP nomination to take on incumbent Democratic Congressman Joe Cunningham in South Carolina’s first congressional district. The Republican primary was hotly contested between four contenders, in a district that President Trump carried by 13 points.

Mace’s victory is another win for Republican women seeking higher office. The South Carolina Republican was endorsed by Rep. Elise Stefanik’s PAC exclusively supporting GOP women, as Stefanik seeks to elect more Republican women to Congress.
