RETIREMENT WATCH: Jamie Ager Outraises Chuck Edwards’ Flailing Campaign by Nearly 5X

Chuck Edwards’ days in Congress are numbered. 

In the first quarter of 2026, farmer and first-time candidate Jamie Ager drastically outraised Edwardsraising more than $950,000. This is the third quarter in a row Ager outraised Edwards.

While Edwards continues to flail in the fight for his political life, Ager has more than double Edwards’ cash-on-hand at over $1,000,000. 

DCCC Spokesperson Madison Andrus:
“Western North Carolinians are sick and tired of Chuck Edwards’ failures. He failed to get Western North Carolina the FEMA funding they needed, he failed to stick up for working families, he failed to protect rural health care, and now he’s failing at running for Congress. Jamie Ager is ushering in a new generation of leadership that will fight for his community – and voters are lining up to be a part of that mission.”
