President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday he chose former Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., to head the Small Business Administration.
Loeffler is a former finance executive who is currently the co-chair of Trump’s inaugural committee. She represented Georgia in the Senate from 2020 to 2021, when she was appointed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp after former Sen. Johnny Isakson stepped aside for health reasons.
"Kelly will bring her experience in business and Washington to reduce red tape, and unleash opportunity for our Small Businesses to grow, innovate, and thrive," Trump said in a statement and on social media. "She will focus on ensuring that SBA is accountable to Taxpayers by cracking down on waste, fraud, and regulatory overreach."
If confirmed by the Senate, Loeffler would take over a Cabinet-level position that provides counseling, capital and contracting expertise as an advocate for small businesses.
