In 2012, he gave the keynote at the Democratic National convention, the same speech that put barack obama on the national map eight years earlier, and in 2014, president obama asked him to serve as secretary of housing and urban development, a department with a 48 billion budget and 8,000 employees that worked to expand housing opportunities for americans.
