    Congressman Chuck Edwards (NC-11) announced that he has filed a formal submission with the Office of Congressional Conduct against House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest and Ranking Member Mark DeSaulnier, alleging that they…

    “The Ethics Committee demanded that I be punished for supposedly violating the ‘letter and spirit’ of House rules while its own leaders treated those same rules as optional.”
  • Statement · Press release · Aug 27, 2026

    Edwards Responds to Ethics Committee Findings

    Congressman Chuck Edwards sent a letter rebuking the House Ethics Committee's findings that he engaged in sexual harassment and outlining his concerns with the Committee's investigation and conclusions.

    “Those conclusions do not accurately reflect the facts or the full context surrounding these allegations. I sent this letter because every Member of Congress deserved to hear directly from me and have the opportunity to review the facts for themselves.”

Campaign money

Method

In the 2025–26 cycle Edwards’s campaign raised $940K: $546K (58%) from individuals and $368K (39%) from PACs and other committees. Cash on hand: $486K.

Through Jun 30, 2026; filings lag, so recent gifts can take weeks to appear. Money raised also counts loans and transfers, so the shares need not add to 100%. Source: FEC.gov.
