Jamie Ager, a farmer and grandson of former U.S. representative Jamie Clarke, is the Democratic nominee for North Carolina's 11th congressional district, which includes Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson and several other counties.
He won the Democratic primary with 64.7% of the vote, ahead of physician Richard Hudspeth with 15.9% and field services technician Zelda Briarwood with 13.0%.
The Republican incumbent, Chuck Edwards, won his own primary but ended his re-election bid on August 5, 2026, after the House Ethics Committee recommended him for censure.
A committee formed by the North Carolina Republican Party then chose state representative Jennifer Balkcom as the replacement nominee. In the general election on November 3, 2026, Ager faces Balkcom and Libertarian Travis Groo, a safety specialist.
