Edwards Exit Triggers GOP scramble in pivotal NC-11 race
Rep. Chuck Edwards withdraws from reelection after the House Ethics Committee found violations involving harassment and a hostile work environment, forcing Republicans to quickly replace him in North Carolina’s 11th District. The race, once lean Republican, is now a toss-up as Democrats’ Jamie Ager gains fundraising momentum, prompting a rapid, high-stakes campaign and potentially elevating scrutiny of misconduct penalties and expulsion options.
