Incumbent Rep. Chuck Edwards Wins North Carolina's 11th Congressional District

Edwards Defeats Democrat Jasmine Beach-Ferrara

Incumbent Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards has won re-election to North Carolina's 11th Congressional District, defeating Democratic challenger Jasmine Beach-Ferrara. Edwards won by a comfortable margin, with 55% of the vote to Beach-Ferrara's 45%. He has now served in the House of Representatives since 2017.

Edwards Credited for Strong Fundraising, Conservative Values

Edwards attributed his victory to his strong fundraising and his conservative values, which resonated with voters in the district. He emphasized his support for lower taxes, less government regulation, and a strong military.

Beach-Ferrara Ran on Progressive Platform

Beach-Ferrara ran on a progressive platform, calling for increased investment in education and healthcare, as well as action on climate change. However, she was unable to overcome Edwards' strong support among Republican voters.

District Leans Republican

The 11th Congressional District leans Republican, and Edwards has always been considered the favorite in this race. The district includes parts of Buncombe, Henderson, and Transylvania counties, as well as all of Madison, McDowell, Polk, and Rutherford counties.

Edwards' victory is a blow to Democrats, who had hoped to flip the district blue. It also gives Republicans a stronger majority in the House of Representatives.
