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.
