Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) released the following statement opposing Scott Turner to serve as President Donald Trump’s Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. The statement follows her vote today against his nomination in the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee.
“Nevadans are facing an affordable housing crisis and Scott Turner has made it clear that he has no interest in protecting HUD programs that build more homes families can afford. I’m deeply concerned by Mr. Turner’s lack of experience and his willingness to freeze critical housing programs, including those that help our seniors and veterans. I oppose his confirmation.”
