(WASHINGTON) — Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Marcia Fudge announced Monday that she is stepping down from her cabinet position later this month — marking only the second cabinet secretary to do so during the Biden administration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“From her time as a mayor, to her years as a fierce advocate in the U.S. House of Representatives, Marcia’s vision, passion, and focus on increasing economic opportunity have been assets to our country. I’m grateful for <\/span>all of<\/span> her contributions toward a housing system that works for all Americans, and I wish her well in her next chapter,” President Joe Biden wrote in a statement on her departure.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fudge sat for an exclusive interview\u00a0<\/span>with USA Today<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and said she is leaving <\/span>public<\/span> office for retirement. Her last day is March 22.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Don’t look for me to ever be on another ballot or another appointee or anything like <\/span>that,’<\/span>‘ she told USA Today. “I really do look forward to being a private citizen.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fudge, who has served in the role for three years, was only the second black woman to lead the agency.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When Fudge departs, Deputy Secretary Adrianne Todman will serve as acting secretary.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
