President-elect Donald Trump has named Scott Turner, former chairman of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council, as his nominee for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development during his second term in office.
In a statement on the 22nd local time, President-elect Trump described Turner as an NFL veteran who has led unprecedented efforts to transform some of America’s most disadvantaged communities, saying, “Scott will work with me to make America great again for all Americans.” He explained:
Turner, the first black ministerial candidate in President-elect Trump’s second administration, played as a player for the NFL’s Washington Redskins from 1995 to 2004, and later devoted himself to politics, being elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 2012 and serving until 2017.
During President-elect Trump’s first term in office, he served as chairman of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Committee, which was newly established by presidential executive order in 2019.
