As one of millions of Americans concerned about the direction our country is headed under the current administration, I was thrilled with the news that President-elect Donald Trump selected my close friend Scott Turner as his nominee to lead the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
As a former HUD Secretary, I know how important the role is, so I can confidently say that Scott is the perfect man for the job. Scott’s life story demonstrates some of the most important qualities of a leader and Cabinet secretary. He is ambitious, passionate, detail-oriented, and a steadfast defender of conservative values. These character traits don’t come easy; they result from years of hard work, faith in God, and pushing himself to be the best he can be over the course of decades, all of which have culminated in his nomination to be a Cabinet secretary.
