Title: Ranking Member Markey Statement on Senate Confirmation of Senator Kelly Loeffler as Administrator of the Small Business Administration Date: 2025-02-19 Ranking Member Markey Statement on Senate Confirmation of Senator Kelly Loeffler as Administrator of the Small Business Administration February 19, 2025 Washington (February 19) – Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee Ranking Member Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) today issued the following statement on the U.S. Senate vote to confirm Senator Kelly Loeffler to serve as Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA). “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,” said Ranking Member Markey. “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.” Ranking Member Markey delivered remarks on the floor of the Senate last week to object to the confirmation of Senator Loeffler as SBA Administrator. ### Permalink: https://www.sbc.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2025/2/ranking-member-markey-statement-on-senate-confirmation-of-senator-kelly-loeffler-as-administrator-of-the-small-business-administration
