CLEVELANDURBANNEWS.COM, WASHINGTON, D.C. –The Senate Committee on Banking Housing and Urban Affairs will resume committee hearings on Monday morning for Ohio 11th Congressional District Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge, a Warrensville Heights Democrat and former city mayor whose largely Black congressional district includes Cleveland and a former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus tapped by President Joe Biden as his pick for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

If the committee approves Fudge's nomination it will then go before the full Senate for a vote

The congresswoman has bipartisan support for the secretary post, including from both of Ohio's U.S. senators, Sherrod Brown, a Cleveland Democrat, and Rob Portman, a Republican federal lawmaker out of Cincinnati.

Brown lives in Fudge's congressional district and is a Fudge ally, and he is a co-chair of the hearing committee.

Portman, who announced last week that he will not seek reelection to the Senate in 2022, said Fudge is more than qualified to lead HUD.

"I don't always agree with Marcia on policy, she certainly does not always agree with me, but I can speak to her integrity, her commitment to justice and the strength of her character," said Portman.

A loyal Democrat respected and admired across partisan lines, the congresswoman discussed her goals for HUD if confirmed to lead the agency and faced no serious obstacles on the first day of confirmation hearings last Thursday but was posed questions on public comments she has made about Congressional and other Republicans.

The hearing committee, on Thursday, asked her to research those concerns and to be prepared to respond Monday, where Senate Republicans and Democrats will again grill the congresswoman relative to her nomination for HUD secretary.

HUD has had the most Black secretaries in American history with five, including Dr Ben Carson, a Republican who served under former president Donald Trump.
