Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) is facing a challenging primary battle, potentially including her former chief of staff.

Mace has sparked fury within the GOP ranks in recent months over her outspokenness and her willingness to buck the party establishment.

She has been openly critical of her party’s stances on gun safety and abortion.

Mace ’s former chief of staff Daniel Hanlon , whom she fired last year , separately filed paperwork last month to run in the primary.

A source close to Templeton 's campaign disputed the idea that McCarthy prompted the former state agency official's run.

The source said Templeton had been recruited to run for several cycles previously and wanted to wait until her children were older.
