MACE CHALLENGER IS SHOOTING BRICKS
Congresswoman Nancy Mace is facing yet another Republican primary challenger. In 2022 Katie Arrington ran against Mace. Arrington even had the endorsement of Donald Trump! Mace’s decision to vote in favor of holding Trump’s former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for his refusal to comply with a Select Committee subpoena put Mace out of favor with Trump. Despite the forces formed against her, Nancy Mace knocked off the Trump endorsed candidate with 53 percent of the vote.
But wait! There’s more! It turns out Mace cast another “controversial” vote that has upset a powerful man, albeit not nearly as powerful and influential as Donald J. Trump. On October 3, 2023, Mace was 1 of 8 Republicans to vote in favor of a Motion to Vacate to oust Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy. As sure as Joe Biden has dementia, along comes another, well-funded Republican challenger to take out Mace. This spider’s name is Catherine Templeton and boy does she have a story to tell!
If the South Carolina primary wasn’t on June 11th there’s no telling what accomplishments Templeton would lay claim to if given just a little more time. She is 90 days away from claiming she invented sweet tea, and she’s not even from Summerville! Templeton is either lying like a Biden, or she has an ego the size of Hunter’s hooker and dope dealer phonebook!
Lately she’s misleading voters into believing she had something to do with Boeing building a manufacturing plant in North Charleston. Yes people. Boeing is in North Charleston, South Carolina and not Charleston, South Carolina. North Charleston never gets its props. It’s no longer the wrong side of the tracks! Show it some love.
It takes years to build a facility the size of a Boeing manufacturing plant. Two months before the plant opened to begin manufacturing aircraft, Templeton was part of an effort to stop the union from organizing the new employees. Boeing was already in South Carolina at this point. Templeton did not have anything to do with bringing Boeing to the Palmetto State and any suggestion to the contrary is what most honest people call a lie.

This isn’t Templeton’s first run for office. In 2018 she sought to win the Republican nominee for Governor of South Carolina. She was defeated decisively. So, she did what any other labor lawyer, former Director of the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, as well as former Director of the South Carolina Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation would do. She went to work building bricks.
While touting her recently acquired female business owner credentials, Catherine Templeton claims on her campaign website that she “built” US Brick. How is it that she built US Brick when the company was founded in 1939? It was purchased in 2020 by long time Templeton supporter, Mikee Johnson. During her run for governor, Johnson funneled approximately $57,800 to Templeton. Mikee Johnson is obviously a big admirer of Catherine Templeton.
During a September 2021 podcast, Johnson indicated he took full ownership of US Brick. Did Templeton have an ownership share then? Absent even a press release, Templeton became the President of US Brick. She left the position with the same amount of fanfare. None. The lack of news coverage is very odd for a former Director of SC DHEC as well as the SC Department of Labor. Not a word.
Numerous attempts have been made to get the Templeton campaign to answer questions pertaining to her time at US Brick. Her campaign has yet to explain her relationship with Mikee Johnson, how much of US Brick Templeton owned, why she was selected to be the president of a brick company, and why she claims to have “built” a company that was founded in 1939.
Is the entire Templeton / US Brick era just framework to cement Templeton’s political resume with a “successful businesswoman” finish? These bricks just are not plumb to the line. Something is off.
