Crapo highlighted Turner's qualifications, stating, “Scott Turner has the business and personal acumen to serve him well as head of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development." Crapo praised Turner's journey from overcoming early childhood adversity to becoming a successful professional football player, state legislator, businessman, and politician.

"Mr. Turner has committed to lift up the stories of forgotten Americans, ensuring every citizen, regardless of creed or background, will have the same access to strong communities and quality, affordable housing," Crapo noted.
