Edwards was born in Birmingham, Alabama, but eventually moved to Point Clear, a suburb of Mobile and opened a law practice there. His great-great grandfather, William F. Aldrich, had been the last Republican congressman from the state, serving (with a few months' break) from 1896 to 1901. Edwards was first elected to Congress in 1964, one of five Republicans elected to the House from Alabama amid Barry Goldwater's sweep of the state in that year's presidential election. He represented the state's 1st District, based in Mobile. The seat had been left vacant when 28-year incumbent Frank Boykin was the state's only congressman not returned in the 1962 at-large election. He defeated Democrat John Tyson, Sr. by nineteen points. He was reelected nine times. Edwards did not seek reelection in 1984. He was succeeded by State Senator Sonny Callahan, a Democrat who turned Republican after Edwards promised him his endorsement. Edwards resumed his law practice, and was co-chairman of the 1988 Base Realignment and Closure Commission.
