Asheville was ON FIRE waiting for NC Rep. Chuck Edwards’ town hall to begin. The auditorium only had room for 360 people, but thousands packed the parking lot. The doors closed before I got in, but I can tell you that there was not one Chuck Edwards fan in the crowd.

I took this video the same day that Hurricane Helene ravaged Asheville, after the rain had stopped. It made me hopeful then, and it makes me hopeful now. #asheville
