The article details former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler’s potential appointment as the head of the Small Business Administration (SBA) under President Donald Trump’s second administration.
After being appointed to the Senate in 2019, Loeffler, a former WNBA team co-owner, gained prominence for her business background and political ties, including her role in Trump’s inauguration committee.
Despite losing her Senate seat to Democrat Raphael Warnock in 2020, she has maintained strong political influence and is involved in various conservative initiatives, including founding Greater Georgia, a voter registration group.
If confirmed, Loeffler’s deep business acumen and Georgia ties could benefit the state’s small business owners, with the SBA’s focus on recovery and resilience, especially in the wake of disasters.
The article also highlights other Georgians with strong Trump ties who are joining the administration, including Doug Collins, David Perdue, and Herschel Walker.
