Former Georgia senator Kelly Loeffler was confirmed by the Senate to lead the Small Business Administration, a federal agency that provides support and resources to small businesses. In her new role, Loeffler will focus on cracking down on waste, fraud, and regulatory overreach within the agency. She was confirmed by a party-line vote, with only one Democrat voting in favor. Loeffler served in the Senate from 2020 to 2021 and has a background in financial services and sports ownership. She is married to the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange. Sen. John Thune praised Loeffler as a champion for American entrepreneurs. Her confirmation comes after her loss to Sen. Raphael Warnock in the 2020 special election for the Georgia Senate seat.
