House Censures Edwards Over Ethics Scandal | Dayton News

The House just censured Rep. Chuck Edwards, a North Carolina Republican, in a 413-2 vote — the strongest punishment short of expulsion — after an ethics report detailed his alleged misconduct toward young staffers, including inappropriate comments, gifts, and awkward social gestures. Though Edwards denies sexual harassment, calling his actions “friendly,” he apologized for making anyone uncomfortable. The overwhelming bipartisan support for censure signals Congress is taking harassment allegations seriously, even as Edwards chose not to run again.
