South Carolina enacted a recurring independent audit requirement for SCDOT, directly matching the audit promise.

On 2026-01-08, Mace proposed the Pothole Accountability Act, which would make SCDOT publish a pothole dashboard, repair-age counts, explanations for slow fixes, and weekly county response stats.

Concrete accountability proposal toward SCDOT oversight, but not the audit itself.

partial same_term A for effort

South Carolina enacted S.0831/R156 in May 2026, requiring an independent SCDOT audit every four years, so the substantive audit outcome occurred during Mace's current federal term. However, the enacted bill was a South Carolina state measure sponsored and passed by state officials, and the provided evidence does not show that Mace wrote, sponsored, or materially advanced that audit provision. Her Pothole Accountability Act was a serious SCDOT accountability effort but did not itself require the audit. Given limited candidate credit for the completed audit, partial credit is more appropriate than full delivery.
