“Chief Schulke has dedicated his
professional career to fighting Medicaid fraud and protecting our elderly and
vulnerable, and he has done so humbly and with great care,” said Attorney General Aaron D. Ford. “I’m thrilled that as a result of this position, his
ideas and skillsets will be shared with other offices around the country so
they can best serve those in need. I could not think of a person better suited
to represent this State.”
“Government assistant programs like Medicaid
are reserved for those in need, and I take great pride in protecting these
important services,” added
Chief Andrew Schulke. “I’m truly humbled
to step into this role so I can not only serve vulnerable populations but
educate new members of Medicaid Fraud Control Units around the country.”
Chief Schulke began his career with the
Office of the Nevada Attorney General in 2006 after graduating from William S. Boyd
School of Law. He has been a committed servant of the Attorney General’s Office
for the past 14 years, beginning his career as a Deputy Attorney General and
