Edwards Seeks Senate District 48 Seat After Apodaca
Chuck Edwards faces Lisa Carpenter Baldwin and Dennis Justice in the Republican primary for North Carolina Senate District 48. Edwards, a Hendersonville business leader who owns seven McDonald’s franchises and has GOP support from incumbent Apodaca, positions himself as a non politician focused on local economic growth. Baldwin touts credentials and activism, while Justice opposes major regional bond funding and incentives. Edwards is cast as best suited to continue Hendersonville and Henderson County representation.

Redistricting in North Carolina reshapes congressional map
The NC Legislature returned to Raleigh to redraw 13th district lines after the 2010 census and a federal ruling on racial gerrymandering. A new 2016 map was approved in two weeks amid party lines, with criteria to keep districts compact, equal in population, and avoid incumbents in the same district.
