U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03), Vice Chairman of the House Small Business Committee, issued the following statement after the U.S. Senate approved Linda McMahon as the next Administrator of the Small Business Administration.

“President Trump nominated a highly qualified leader to be the voice of small businesses across our country,” Luetkemeyer said. “As Administrator McMahon has stated throughout her hearings, she will be an advocate for the nation’s small businesses employers and employees. As a Member and Vice Chairman of the House Small Business Committee, I am eager to work with her to cut government red-tape and reignite the economic engines of our local communities.”
