Video remarks as delivered:

I still remember the first trip I made to our nation's capital when I was a teenager. I felt inspired by the potential of the American government to help improve the lives of people in every corner of our country. I returned home to the U.S. Virgin Islands determined to devote my life to public service.

Since that trip, I have spent my career working to expand opportunity for people -in the halls of Congress, at federal and local housing agencies, and as an advocate for organizations that advance affordable housing and community development.

Throughout my journey, I have made it my mission to help restore and revitalize our nation's public housing; to help build more affordable homes in our country; to help house people who are homeless and to help families achieve their dreams.

At every step along the way, I have worked to safeguard the public's trust-and to deliver support to people in need with efficiency and with equity.

My name is Adrianne Todman-and I now have the great honor of serving as the Deputy Secretary of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

This will mark my second time serving at HUD-and I am thrilled to rejoin our amazing team and work alongside Secretary Fudge to build a stronger, more secure, and more inclusive America.

Today, I am filled with the same sense of excitement, inspiration, and hope that I experienced during my first trip to Washington. And I can't wait to start working on behalf of the people and communities that HUD serves!
