Kelly Loeffler Confirmed as New SBA Administrator

Yesterday, by a vote of 52-46, the United States Senate confirmed Kelly Loeffler as Administrator of the SBA.

Congressman Rick Allen of Georgia says, “With Kelly Loeffler at the helm of the SBA, small business owners throughout the state of Georgia and nationwide have a tireless advocate by their side. With her years of experience and success as a business leader, Kelly is well-equipped to assume this role in President Trump’s Administration. I look forward to working alongside her and President Trump to ensure our small businesses thrive as we usher in the Golden Age of America.”

House Small Business Committee Chairman Roger Williams writes, “Over the past four years, the SBA, under the failed leadership of the Biden Administration, has turned its back on Main Street America. This Committee, alongside President Trump and Administrator Loeffler, will be fierce advocates for the hardworking small business owners across the nation. I congratulate Administrator Loeffler on her confirmation and look forward to working with her to end burdensome regulations, grow the economy, and restore accountability and common sense back into the SBA.”

Senate Small Business Ranking Member Ed Markey of Massachusetts disagrees, “While I admire Kelly Loeffler’s personal story and work ethic, I am troubled by an unapologetic defense of a Trump agenda that cut off federal funding, has ignored the law, and created chaos and uncertainty for America’s 34 million small businesses. My goal is to protect small businesses and entrepreneurs and not allow partisan politics to jeopardize their funding or their future. The vibrancy of our communities depends on ensuring small businesses can compete, expand, and create jobs.”
