WASHINGTON (AP) — Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge has announced she’ll resign her post, effective March 22. Fudge said Monday she was leaving “with mixed emotions.” A former mayor of Warrensville Heights, Ohio, and later an Ohio representative in Congress, Fudge served as HUD Secretary since the start of President Joe Biden’s administration. Biden says Fudge’s “vision, passion, and focus on increasing economic opportunity have been assets” to the United States. The Democratic president says he’s grateful for Fudge’s “contributions toward a housing system that works for all Americans.”
