The Senate has confirmed Scott Turner to serve as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Turner is a former NFL player who said during confirmation hearings that HUD has failed in it’s core mission-and shared his passion for addressing the problem-quote-“As a country, we’re not building enough housing. We need millions of homes, all kinds of homes: multifamily, single-family, duplex, condos, manufactur[ed] housing, you name it.”  Democrats John Fetterman and Peter Welch voted alongside all Republicans in confirming Turner on a vote of 55-44.
