Scott Turner’s nomination for Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary will advance to the Senate floor after receiving the green light from the necessary committee on Jan. 23.

“It’s time to undo the Biden administration’s far-left policies and burdensome regulations that have put the American dream out of reach for millions of Americans,” said Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), chairman of the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee.
