<p>President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> announced late this week that he has selected Scott Turner to be the next Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).</p>
<p>&#8220;Scott is an NFL Veteran, who, during my First Term, served as the First Executive Director of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council (WHORC), helping to lead an Unprecedented Effort that Transformed our Country’s most distressed communities,&#8221; Trump said in a statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;Those efforts, working together with former HUD Secretary, Ben Carson, were maximized by Scott’s guidance in overseeing 16 Federal Agencies which implemented more than 200 policy actions furthering Economic Development,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;Under Scott’s leadership, Opportunity Zones received over $50 Billion Dollars in Private Investment!&#8221;</p>
<p>Turner said that he was &#8220;thrilled to continue the outstanding work we began in your last administration at HUD with an incredible team.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I am deeply humbled by your confidence in my nomination,&#8221; Turner said. &#8220;I would also like to express the sincerest of gratitude to my mentor, Secretary @RealBenCarson. Few people are as compassionate and gracious as he is, and I am aware that I have big shoes to fill.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Lastly, I am eternally grateful to my wonderful wife Robin, my son Solomon, and the many incredible friends who have supported me on this journey,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We have an important mission ahead. To God be the glory. Let’s get to work!&#8221;</p>
