Senator Warren Statement on Trump Nominating Scott Turner as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development

Washington, D.C. – In response to the news that President-elect Donald Trump has named Scott Turner to serve as U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement: 

“America’s full-blown housing crisis requires a leader who is serious about expanding the housing supply, taking on predatory corporations, and lowering costs for families. If Mr. Turner implements Trump’s Project 2025 plans, it will be a disaster for aspiring first-time home buyers and working people struggling to afford their rent.

“I look forward to learning more about Turner’s views on how to address the housing crisis and will review his record with an objective and open mind ahead of his confirmation hearing.”
