Kelly Loeffler Confirmed as SBA Administrator, 52–46

Senate vote: 52–46

Kelly Loeffler was confirmed by the Senate as Administrator of the Small Business Administration on February 19, 2025, by a vote of 52–46.

The mission that started here is the small-business portfolio: SBA lending and disaster programs, and — as the administration’s fraud crackdown took shape — the small-business side of the Fraud, Waste & Corruption hub, where Administrator Loeffler runs the SBA beat alongside the Vice President’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud.
