Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia L. Fudge is leaving the administration, effective March 22.
“It’s time to go home,” Fudge told USA Today. “I do believe strongly that I have done just about everything I could do at HUD for this administration as we go into this crazy, silly season of an election.”
Fudge, a former House Democrat who represented the Cleveland area, is only the second Cabinet secretary under President Joe Biden to leave, a notable amount of stability. Former Labor Secretary Marty Walsh left in March of last year to become executive director of the National Hockey League Players’ Association. `
