Edwards to hold town hall next week in Asheville

By Lightning Reports, Published: March 3, 2025

U.S. Rep. Chuck Edwards will host an in-person town hall to share an update on legislative issues affecting North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District and to hear from constituents.

Edwards's announcement comes as town halls by other congressmen and U.S. senators have drawn crowds of constituents angry over the Trump administration's mass layoffs and cuts to federal programs. The town hall will be 6-7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 13, in Ferguson Auditorium at A-B Tech in Asheville.

“I’ve had many constituents ask me lately if I could hold another live town hall," Edwards said in a news release. "The answer is most emphatically, yes. Being accessible, listening, and answering questions for the people of WNC are among my favorite activities, even if we might not always agree. That is why in my first term as a congressman, I held eight in-person town halls. I am eager to host the ninth one in Asheville."
