Pres­i­dent-elect Don­ald Trump announced late on Wednes­day that he has nom­i­nat­ed busi­ness leader and for­mer U.S. Sen­a­tor Kel­ly Loef­fler (R‑GA) to be the next admin­is­tra­tor of the Small Busi­ness Admin­is­tra­tion (SBA).

“Kel­ly will bring her expe­ri­ence in busi­ness and Wash­ing­ton to reduce red tape, and unleash oppor­tu­ni­ty for our Small Busi­ness­es to grow, inno­vate, and thrive,” Trump said in a state­ment. “She will focus on ensur­ing that SBA is account­able to Tax­pay­ers by crack­ing down on waste, fraud, and reg­u­la­to­ry over­reach.”

Trump praised Loef­fler as a “tremen­dous fight­er” when she served in the U.S. Sen­ate dur­ing his first term in office, not­ing that she helped pass the first-ever bill to pro­tect women in sports.

“Pri­or to her tenure in the U.S. Sen­ate, Kel­ly built a 25 year career in finan­cial ser­vices and tech­nol­o­gy,” Trump added. “Along with her amaz­ing hus­band, Jeff, she helped build a For­tune 500 com­pa­ny from 100 employ­ees to over 10,000, as Exec­u­tive VP. She and Jeff also helped me secure the Big Elec­tion Win in Geor­gia!”

Over the last four years, Trump said that Loef­fler has worked to pro­mote elec­tion integri­ty, out­reach, and vot­er reg­is­tra­tion through her non­prof­it, Greater Geor­gia.

“In addi­tion to SBA Admin­is­tra­tor, I’ve appoint­ed her Co-Chair of the Pres­i­den­tial Inau­gur­al Com­mit­tee,” Trump added.

Loef­fler respond­ed to the announce­ment by say­ing that she was “deeply hon­ored” as she accept­ed the nom­i­na­tion.

“Small busi­ness­es are huge for Amer­i­ca,” she said. “They’re the beat­ing heart of our econ­o­my and the gate­way to the Amer­i­can Dream.

“The Amer­i­ca First Agen­da will unleash a new era of growth and oppor­tu­ni­ty for job cre­ators and inno­va­tors!” she added.
