Rep. Brenden Jones, a Republican member of the North Carolina State House representing the 46th district since 2017, has used his social media platform to highlight concerns about Medicaid oversight in the state.
On March 24, 2026, Jones posted: “Amid rampant Medicaid fraud, waste, and abuse, the House Oversight Committee has called on Attorney General Jeff Jackson and NCDHHS Secretary Devdutta Sangvai to testify on their agencies’ failures and lack of accountability. #ncpol https://t.co/LmcEdqXLcQ”
In a follow-up post at 13:01 UTC on the same day, he announced details regarding an upcoming meeting: “The meeting is scheduled for April 16 at 9:00 AM. Full letters are available below. #ncpol https://t.co/uuT9uHkSr6”
A subsequent tweet provided further documentation: “Secretary Sangvai letter. #ncpol https://t.co/RhQzV0lxRf”
The call for testimony follows ongoing scrutiny of Medicaid management within North Carolina’s Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) and reflects broader concerns about public accountability in state healthcare programs. The committee’s request for testimony from Attorney General Jeff Jackson and NCDHHS Secretary Devdutta Sangvai highlights legislative oversight efforts in response to allegations of fraud and inefficiency.
Jones was elected to represent North Carolina’s 46th House district in 2017 after replacing Ken Waddell.
