It's great to be in Canton this evening for the screening of Papertown! If you see me, come up and say hello — I'd love to meet you and your family! #NC11 #WNC #CantonNC #Papertown

Such a great day in Spruce Pine! Thanks to everyone who came out to our meet and greet. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Mitchell County! #NC11 #SprucePineNC #MitchellCountyNC

Thank you to everyone who came out to our first rally of the year! This campaign is about bringing neighbors from across Western North Carolina together around shared values and building a better future for us all. I hope you'll join us on this journey! #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC #AshevilleNC

Join us on May 7 in Asheville for our first campaign rally of the year! We'll be joined by local bands, food trucks and supporters from across Western NC. This event is at Asheville Yards. Doors open at 6pm. All are welcome! Tickets are free but required — get yours at Jamie4NC.com/AshevilleYards

Great to spend some time in Waynesville today. Small businesses are the heart of our mountain towns. I'm grateful to my fellow entrepreneurs in the meat business Heidi and Karen from Grebleknud Meat Company for taking some time to share your story!

Thanks to everyone who joined us in Marion last night! It was great to hear from so many folks from McDowell. Western North Carolina is a special place and we're all so blessed to live here. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 We’re excited to endorse #UnrigWashington member @jamie.agerforcongress.com in his race for #NC11. Jamie knows corporations are driving up prices for working families. He'll fight to lower costs and invest in North Carolina communities. We look forward to helping him win.

My name is Jamie Ager. I'm a 4th gen. farmer running against Republican Chuck Edwards. I've spent my career building community through agriculture. Now I'm running for Congress in Western NC to fight for working people and root out corruption. Will you help spread the word?

@jamie.agerforcongress.com is done watching Congress fail rural America. Watch his full interview with Jen Rubin on why he's running: https://www.contrariannews.org/p/this-working-class-farmer-wants-to

Big thanks to everyone who came out to Oak and Grist in Black Mountain last night! We're so lucky to have a thriving local business economy here in WNC supported by our communities. I'll be proud to be the strong voice they deserve in Congress. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC #BlackMountainNC

It was great to spend some time hiking on a beautiful Western NC day with Preston Blakely, the Mayor of Fletcher. I really appreciate hearing stories about Helene recovery, the challenges facing working families and the vision for the future of a great small town in WNC. @prestonb-nc.bsky.social

Found this family picture from 17 years ago! Having kids, building out the farm, running a wholesale meat business, and nurturing our marriage takes so much intentionality and hard work. I'm grateful for everything we've learned and appreciate Amy for putting up with lots of big ideas! #NC11 #WNC

Leadership in Washington has failed Western North Carolina. Many of our friends and neighbors are still struggling a year and a half later. We deserve a representative who will fight for us to get back on our feet and fully recover from Helene. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC #HurricaneHelene

Running to flip District 11, @jamie.agerforcongress.com!

I am beyond honored to have received the Democratic nomination for US Congress this evening! Together, we’re going to flip this seat, build an economy that supports working families, and deliver the Helene recovery Chuck Edwards won't! Thank you so much for your support! #ncpol

If you're voting today you just might run into a member of the family! Ager family, friends and supporters are working the polls today. Make sure you head to vote before they close at 7:30pm! Go to iWillVote.com to find everything you need — and don't forget to bring a photo ID. #NC11 #WNC

Despite using our community as a backdrop for all those press conferences on the campaign, there was no mention of Helene recovery during the State of the Union. Chuck Edwards doesn't even have the clout within his own party for our recovery to be mentioned once during a two hour speech.

Incredibly honored to have the DCCC's support in this race – one of the most competitive in the country this fall! Together, we're going to help tackle the affordability crisis, re-earn people’s trust in government, and get the Helene recovery funding Chuck Edwards hasn't. #ncpol

We can build a future that young people believe in, but we must elect leaders who will fight for them. That's why I'm so proud to have the support of the Young Democrats of North Carolina, the Western Carolina University College Democrats, and the UNC Asheville College Democrats! #NC11 #WNC

Great to have the boys together this afternoon to go vote in the primary. It was awesome to be a part of Nolin's first time voting! #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC

It was great to catch up with Buncombe Commissioner Al Whitesides today — a Western NC legend! I'm grateful for his continued support and endorsement of my campaign. #NC11 #BuncombeNC #WNC #WesternNC

Haywood Polar Plunge complete! Shout-out to the Haywood Waterways Association for hosting this awesome event — and all they do for our community! #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC

After a busy day on the campaign trail, Amy and I hosted the App State ultimate frisbee team for a steak dinner and to watch the Carolina/Duke game! #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC

Thanks to everyone who came out to our meet and greet at Hi-Wire Brewing last night! It's been so great to connect with so many of our friends and neighbors across Western NC. Be on the lookout for more dates soon! #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC

Free next Wednesday? Join us at Hi-Wire Brewing RAD to have a beer (or whatever you prefer) with me! Where: Hi-Wire Brewing RAD Beer Garden When: February 4th from 6 - 8pm You can sign up at agerforcongress.com/hiwire — I hope to see you there!

This is not public safety. It’s chaos. We cannot have secret police. We have accountability, due process, and the rule of law. Everyone involved in this violence should be held accountable. Kristi Noem should resign or be removed.

A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for all of Western NC from early Saturday through Monday, with heavy snow, ice, and dangerous cold temperatures expected in the mountains. Please prepare now and check ReadyNC.gov for updates.

This morning I had the chance to reflect of the life and work of a great man at the annual MLK Breakfast in Hendersonville. Folks remember Dr. King for his racial justice work, and for good reason – but I also like to remember that he was a real fighter for working people. 🧵

It was great to be in Clay County today! My favorite part of campaigning is meeting with and hearing from folks all across Western NC. There are many perspectives, but we're all united by common values — love for WNC, love for our country, and a desire to do better. #NC11 #WesternNC #ClayCountyNC

It was a beautiful morning in Transylvania County! Amy and I were so glad to drive down. We're continuing to visit every corner of Western North Carolina — and I look forward to meeting you and earning your vote soon! #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC

Earlier today, Chuck Edwards had another opportunity to join a bipartisan group to extend health care subsidies to tens of thousands of people in his district. He chose not to.

Trust in our government is low — and understandably so. Congress must act to fight corruption within itself.

I'm so grateful to all of my friends and neighbors across Western NC for joining and supporting our campaign. Together, we'll keep building a campaign we can all be proud of! #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC

The rising cost of living is impacting everyone. Things like housing, child care, health care, utilities, groceries, and other essentials have been getting more expensive each year. Working 40 hours a week should be enough to have a good life, not barely scrape by. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Christmas Bash last week! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family! 🎄 #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC

After Helene, politicians flew in from D.C., used the devastation as a backdrop for campaign photo ops, and made big promises — promises we're still waiting on them to keep. More than a year later, Chuck Edwards hasn't delivered. Western NC is tired of waiting. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC #Helene

Governor Hunt was a giant of North Carolina politics whose time in office truly made our state a better place. Amy and I are sending well wishes and love to the Hunt family and to all who knew him and were touched by his lifetime of service.

83,000 residents of NC-11 depend on the ACA – and right now, they could see costs go up by as much as 300% in 2026. I'm really frustrated to see Rep. Edwards won't even support a vote on extending the subsidies, and I know I'm not the only one who feels that way. www.axios.com/2025/12/17/m...

Western North Carolina is the most beautiful place in the world, and I'm so proud to call it home. We deserve a representative who is proud to be from here — and who will put WNC over political games in Washington. #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC

Merry Christmas from the Fairview Christmas Parade! #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC #FairviewNC

We're over in Canton for the Christmas parade tonight and I'm putting the final touches on the float the boys helped me build! Hope to see y'all out there! #NC11 #WNC #CantonNC

Great visit with Black Mountain Mayor Mike Sobol and Vice Mayor Archie Pertiller Jr. today! I'm honored and excited to earn the endorsement of these two legends of Western North Carolina. #WNC #NC11 #WesternNC #BlackMountain #BlackMountainNC

It's official — I'm on the ballot running to serve NC-11! With only 90 days until the Democratic Primary in March, now is the time to do as my son Levi says and "lock in and go win" this thing! #NC11 #WNC

I'm honored to have the endorsement of the Buncombe County General Assembly Democratic delegation! Sen. Mayfield, Rep. Turner, Rep. Ager, and Rep. Prather are tireless advocates for Western NC — I am proud to have their support. #NC11 #WNC @pratherfornc.bsky.social @brianturnernc.bsky.social

Did you know that North Carolina is the nation's second largest producer of Christmas trees? Nearly all of those are grown right here in the western part of our state. Buying a locally grown tree is a great way to support small farms and local agriculture! 🎄 #NC11 #WNC #WesternNC
