What the document says

“HUD political leadership should immediately assign all delegated powers to politically appointed PDAS, DAS, and other office leadership positions”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 508

The chapter asks that current career leadership positions be changed into political and non-career appointments, and that Senior Executive Service transfers be used to install what it calls motivated and aligned leadership. It says implementing its reforms simply requires courageous political leadership across the department's appointed positions.

What the document actually says

“HUD political leadership should immediately assign all delegated powers to politically appointed PDAS, DAS, and other office leadership positions”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 508
That sentence, in plain words

Give all these powers to political staff. Do it at once.

What this is about

Career staff hold many senior jobs here. The book says political staff should hold them. Their powers would move over right away.
