A little over two-and-a-half years ago, then-state representative Katie Arrington pulled off one of the biggest upsets in South Carolina political history – defeating two-time incumbent congressman (and former two-term governor) Mark Sanford in the GOP primary for the Palmetto State’s first congressional district.
“Arrington might come back,” a source close to the former state lawmaker told us, citing the former candidate’s existing network, her post-campaign accomplishments and the pervasive angst against Mace within the Palmetto State’s conservative electorate.
Since losing the 2018 election to Cunningham, Arrington has enjoyed a decorated career as a top cybersecurity analyst at the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) in Washington, D.C. Earlier this month, in fact, Arrington was honored with the secretary of defense medal for exceptional civilian service owing to the “outstanding leadership” she has displayed during her two years at the Pentagon.

The Pentagon official who oversees its new cybersecurity initiative for defense contractors was placed on leave after she was suspected of disclosing classified information without permission, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.
Katie Arrington, the Pentagon's chief information security officer in the acquisition and sustainment office, was informed on May 11 that her security clearance for classified information was suspended as the investigation continued, according to the report.
The Department of Defense did not immediately return Insider's request for comment Tuesday morning.
"If this preliminary decision becomes final, you will not be eligible for access to classified information" or "assignments to duties that have been designated national security sensitive," a memo sent to Arrington from the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment said, according to Bloomberg.
