Rep. Chuck Edwards announced Wednesday that he will not seek reelection following a bipartisan House Ethics Committee report recommending he be censured. “Serving Western North Carolina has been the honor of my life,” Edwards wrote. Edwards said he remains committed to serving Western North Carolina through the end of his term. “While my campaign is ending, my love for the people of Western North Carolina and my faith in America’s future remain as strong as ever,” he said. “May God continue to bless each of you, Western North Carolina, and the United States of America.”
