Edgar Vance Starnes is a North Carolina politician and an investor in real estate.
He served as a Republican member of the North Carolina General Assembly for a total of approximately 20 years, from 1987–88 and from 1997 through January 2015.
He then resigned to become legislative liaison for North Carolina State Treasurer Janet Cowell.
At the time of his resignation, Starnes represented the state's eighty-seventh House district (Caldwell County). He was elected House Majority Leader by his colleagues in December 2012, for the legislative session beginning in January 2013.
After the 2014 election, in which he was re-elected to the House without opposition, Starnes chose not to seek a second term as Majority Leader because he was already discussing the position with the State Treasurer's office.
