WATCH: HUD nominee Marcia Fudge testifies before Senate committee

President Joe Biden’s nominee for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development appeared before a Senate committee Wednesday.

Watch the hearing in the video player above.

Rep. Marcia Fudge of Ohio, a former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, was just elected to a seventh term in November representing a majority Black district that includes parts of Cleveland and Akron before being tapped for the post.

Biden has viewed Fudge as a leading voice for working families and a longtime champion of affordable housing, infrastructure and other priorities.

Fudge’s immediate priority would be dealing with the eviction crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
