U.S. Senator Jim Risch, a senior member of the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee, has expressed his support for Kelly Loeffler as President Trump's nominee to lead the Small Business Administration (SBA). Risch highlighted the critical role small businesses play in Idaho's economy and communities.

"Small businesses are the lifeblood of Idaho—fueling our economy, creating jobs, and strengthening our communities. Yet, many small businesses have been stifled by bureaucratic complexity and the heavy-handed regulations implemented under the Biden administration," said Risch. He believes that with Kelly Loeffler at the helm of the SBA, Idaho's small businesses will experience increased freedom to innovate and gain access to essential resources.

Risch emphasized his backing of Loeffler's nomination through the Small Business Committee and anticipates her confirmation by the full Senate.
