WASHINGTON— Today, The Heritage Foundation congratulated former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler on her appointment as the Small Business Administration administrator in President-elect Donald Trump’s upcoming administration.  

Heritage President Dr. Kevin Roberts said: 

"Kelly's inspiring journey, from growing up on a farm in Illinois to building a successful career in business and public service, is a testament to her dedication, hard work, and passion for the American Dream. Whether in the Senate, as a business leader, or as a champion for conservative values, Kelly has consistently demonstrated servant leadership. Small businesses today are struggling under high taxes, excessive regulations, and anti-growth policies that make it incredibly difficult to thrive and get started. 

 

“With her deep understanding of the challenges faced by entrepreneurs, Kelly is well-positioned to fight for the policies that will help small businesses succeed. Her unwavering commitment to faith, family, and hard work will undoubtedly continue to drive her as she leads the SBA in empowering small businesses across the country. We are excited to see all that Kelly will accomplish in this new role."
