In a busy day of historic firsts on the Capitol yesterday, March 10, the Senate confirmed President Biden’s selections for housing secretary, chief of the environmental protection agency and attorney general.
Veteran lawmaker and Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge has been approved as the new head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
In addition to a long history representing parts of Cleveland and Akron in the House since 2008, Mary Clare Jalonick and Matthew Daly of the Associated Press reported that Fudge is also a former lawyer and “longtime advocate for assistance for the needy.”
