Today Rep. Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District released the following statement on the Senate’s upcoming vote on President Trump’s nominee for the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson. 

“All Nevada families deserve a roof over their heads. I have little reason to believe that Ben Carson can provide that. He admitted he had no government experience and did not want to cripple President Trump by taking a job in the administration. The HUD Secretary must ensure that Nevadans have access to rental and mortgage assistance for individuals, families, the elderly, and disabled. These programs are a vital safety net for at-risk Americans. Our state deserves someone with knowledge and experience in public housing. Ben Carson doesn’t fill that bill. Putting him in charge of urban development reflects Trump’s disdain for the people in cities who voted against him.”
