Brenden Jones is an American politician and entrepreneur from the state of North Carolina. He is a member of the North Carolina House of Representatives from the Republican Party, representing the 46th district.[1] He was first elected in November 2016.[2][3][4]

Political career

Jones has participated in the 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020 general elections for NC House of Representatives District 46.[5][6] After losing his first election, the NC Republican Party infused his 2016 campaign with nearly $149K to help him win the seat in the rural 46th Distinct.[7][8] Before the election, Jones became involved in a physical altercation with his opponent, Tim Benton, and they filed assault charges against each other.[9][10] The charges were dismissed after the election.[10]

In 2017, Jones introduced HB562, a bathroom bill which would make it harder for transgender people to use public bathrooms by imposing harsher penalties for "trespassing". This was 4 days after partial repeal of the Public Facilities Privacy & Security Act. He is opposed to allowing men and women to share public restrooms and changing facilities.[11][12]

In 2022, Jones ran unopposed in the election.

Jones has voiced his opposition to COVID-19 vaccine mandates, even for healthcare systems in NC.[13] He voted to end federal unemployment benefits linked to the COVID-19 pandemic relief for workers.[14]
