North Carolina GOP seeks nominee to replace Rep. Chuck Edwards following lawmaker’s exit from race

Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Rep. Chuck Edwards, R-N.C., said Aug. 5 he is withdrawing from his reelection campaign days after the House Ethics Committee recommended that the House censure him. The bipartisan panel said there was substantial reason to believe Edwards violated House rules on sexual harassment and hostile workplaces through persistent inappropriate conduct toward two young female staffers. Edwards, who won the Republican primary in March, said he will serve out his current term. North Carolina Republicans must choose a replacement nominee for the 11th District race against Democrat Jamie Ager.
