Edwards Drops Race Amid Ethics Fallout | San Antonio News
Description
Congressman Chuck Edwards has dropped out of the North Carolina 11th District re-election race, citing prayer and reflection — just as the House Ethics Committee recommended censure for creating a hostile work environment, citing gifts like $1K+ jewelry, designer bags, guns, and vacations to female staffers. His team denies any sexual misconduct, focusing instead on the lack of explicit propositions. Meanwhile, Edwards and his wife sold their McDonald’s franchises in western NC, adding another layer to his turbulent exit. With Edwards gone, Republicans scramble to find a new candidate, while Democrat Jamie Ager remains poised to challenge them.
