WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congressman Chuck Edwards (NC-11) introduced the No Funds for Ballot Harvesting Act, legislation aimed at strengthening election integrity and protecting free and honest elections.
The claim in the December 17 issue of Hendersonville Lightning that FEMA has failed to support Western North Carolina’s recovery after Hurricane Helene not only fails to address the pretense of the story where, as a Congressman, I was tasked to help fix FEMA, but also overlooks the scope and reality of a large, ongoing recovery effort.
WASHINGTON, D.C.– Congressman Chuck Edwards (NC-11) urged House leadership to bring H.R. 4669, the Fixing Emergency Management for Americans (FEMA) Act, to the House floor for consideration, emphasizing the need for faster, fairer disaster recovery for communities still rebuilding after Hurricane Helene.

About Chuck
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 the Appropriations Committee and the Budget Committee.
On Appropriations, he sits on four subcommittees: Financial Services and General Government; Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee; Labor, Health and Human Services, Education; and State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs.
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.
