Congressman Chuck Edwards serves as the U.S. representative for North Carolina's 11th District, which covers 15 counties in the state's western mountains.
A Hendersonville businessman and civic leader, Chuck previously served three terms in the North Carolina Senate beginning in 2016. There, he gained a reputation as a workhorse, serving on 18 committees - chairing eight of them - and focusing on improving the lives of those in his district and for all North Carolinians.
In November 2022, Chuck was elected to Congress.
In the U.S. House of Representatives, Chuck's work ethic was recognized, and he has the rare honor as a freshman of being selected to sit on three committees: the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the Budget Committee, and the Committee on Oversight and Government Accountability.
He serves on six subcommittees: On Oversight, he sits on Cybersecurity, Information Technology and Government Innovation; Economic Growth, Energy Policy and Regulatory Affairs; Government Operations and the Federal Workforce.
On Transportation and Infrastructure, he sits on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management; Highways and Transit; and Water Resources and Environment.
However, as important as that legislative work is, Chuck's main focus continues to be serving his constituents, helping them interface with federal agencies, assisting with problems, and trying to make life better for Western North Carolinians. His office motto is "First in constituent services."
Chuck and his wife, Teresa, live in Flat Rock, NC.
