Andrew Hughes, who has a notable history with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), was confirmed as chief of staff with a partisan vote reflecting strong Republican backing. He previously worked under Secretary Ben Carson and took a short hiatus before returning to HUD. His role is seen as essential in furthering HUD's mission to provide housing opportunities for various communities across America, garnering praise from peers like Rep. Turner, who emphasized Hughes' leadership qualities and vision for the department's future.
Hughes characterized work for HUD as a calling, adding that he is humbled to help lead an agency that expands opportunity for all communities, rural, tribal, and urban.
In a statement, Turner lauded Hughes' work and what he's expected to bring to the table now that he's confirmed and seated: 'Andrew Hughes is a servant leader and is the right person, at the right time for this assignment to carry out HUD's mission.'
