The unveiling of Dr. Ben Carson's official portrait by HUD Secretary Turner marked a significant moment. Turner praised Carson's mentorship and leadership while pledging to continue America First policies initiated during the Trump administration. Turner also announced plans to collaborate with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on initiatives to improve housing health. Concerns about manufacturing decay were expressed by Turner, as he highlighted the need to revitalize Opportunity Zones impacted by job loss. His commitment to restore communities was echoed in his public statements following the president's recent tariff announcements.
Today was a full circle moment for me and the whole HUD team as we unveiled former HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson's official portrait, Turner wrote. This man is a mentor to myself, a true leader to the Department, and a great American patriot.
Secretary Turner shares my commitment to promoting healthier living environments that reduce indoor air contaminants and create opportunities for community gardens and social interactions, Kennedy said on Wednesday.
Since 1979, manufacturing hubs across America have decayed as jobs were shipped overseas, Turner said. 40% of Opportunity Zones contain former manufacturing hubs that were forgotten and left to waste for decades.
After decades of bad trade policy, these manufacturing hubs have been left behind, Turner said. We will rebuild, revitalize, and restore our communities.
