- During Helene, the water level here at Ashworth Creek was over my head. Now, over a year later, time has passed but the scars and debris remain — and work needs to be done. But Republicans in Washington are more focused on building ballrooms than building bridges here in WNC.
00:00 - Replying to @JamieAgerNCI've been a farmer all my life, working our fourth generation family farm in Fairview, North Carolina. Farming is a tough job with real consequences and it teaches you to be accountable to the land, to the animals, and to the people.
- Thank you to the over 400 people who joined us for our campaign kickoff last night! We're building a campaign that represents ALL of the people in western North Carolina and that folks can be proud to be a part of. I hope you'll stand with us!

00:00- Replying to @JamieAgerNCI'm running for NC Congressional District 11 because we deserve better, more responsive government that leads with honesty, curiosity, and the knowledge that we can solve any problem when we work together, just like we lead with on the farm.
- Replying to @JamieAgerNCIf you're all in on this campaign, head over to my website, AgerForCongress.com, and I'd sure appreciate if you could share my video with your friends and chip in whatever you can afford to help us start out strong. secure.actblue.com/donate/agersoc…
- Replying to @JamieAgerNCWe're facing some big challenges as a country: rising costs that hurt businesses and families, Medicare and Medicaid under threat, and worsening storms, like Hurricane Helene. We need leaders who will put hardworking Americans first, not tax breaks for their rich friends.
- Replying to @JamieAgerNCI do my best to work hard for my community and my people. The challenges we’re facing might be big but how we arrive at the answers is probably pretty simple. Be honest. Be curious. Work together. That's how you run a farm. Let’s run our country that way, too.
- Here at the farm, we use regenerative grazing practices — which restores the land while creating a great product. It's a great example of how innovative approaches can tackle tough challenges. What if we brought that mindset to Congress?
00:00 - “The ideas of helping poor people, being neighborly, the ideal of doing those things, I think, are worthy, good ideas that are actually popular."
- Amy took this picture early this morning while we were out feeding the turkeys. Just because we kicked off the campaign doesn't mean the chores at the farm stop!
