HENDERSONVILLE - In a Dec. 29 news release, Congressman-elect Chuck Edwards (NC-11) announced that he will have his main district office located in Hendersonville.

The office, which will open on Jan. 3 and is located at 200 N. Grove St., Suite 121, will serve constituents living in North Carolina's 11th Congressional District, the release said.

"Hendersonville is where I started my career in small business, and where I learned the values of hard work and integrity," Edwards said in the release. "Those same values will be at the heart of my district office, where my staff and I will be ready to serve and advocate for anyone who needs help with federal government agencies.”

Republican Edwards won the seat in the Nov. 8 election over Democrat Jasmine Beach-Ferrara. His victory marked more than a decade that the 11th District − which includes liberal Asheville and Buncombe County surrounded by conservative counties − will be represented by a Republican.

To reach the general election he won the primary that included the far-right, scandal-ridden incumbent Rep. Madison Cawthorn, also of Henderson County, according to past reporting by the Asheville Citizen Times.

Edwards said in the release that he will continue with the same values and goals he had while serving in the Senate, where he served three terms in the upper house of the General Assembly.

“My motto in the North Carolina Senate was ‘First in constituent services,’ and that will continue to be my and my staff’s motto serving all the citizens of Western North Carolina,” said Edwards.
