Kelly Loeffler

Putting American small business back at the center of the economy.

A nation of builders, again.

From a family farm, to the floor of the U.S. Senate, to the agency that backs America's job creators, Kelly's work has always come back to one belief: if you're not serving, you're not leading.

Kelly's story

From a Georgia farm to the SBA.

The titles changed: entrepreneur, senator, administrator. The goal never did. Build something real, and make it work for the people doing the building.

Roots

Builder

Raised on a family farm and the first in the family to attend college, Kelly spent nearly three decades in business. She helped grow Intercontinental Exchange from a startup to a Fortune 500 company, then founded Bakkt as its CEO.

Service

Public Servant

Appointed to the United States Senate from Georgia, Kelly brought a business owner's eye for results into public office, and never stopped believing that leadership is measured by who you serve.

Kelly Today

What Kelly's working on now.

The agenda is simple and it's underway: make it easier to build in America, get capital to the entrepreneurs who earn it, and run the agency itself like the businesses it serves.

Made in America

Rebuilding U.S. manufacturing and supply chains, and standing up a new Office of Manufacturing and Trade to back the small manufacturers who make most of what America builds.

Access to capital

Expanding access to SBA-backed loans and investment so that confidence to hire, reinvest, and expand reaches every Main Street, not just the biggest players.

Reform & accountability

Cutting red tape, rooting out fraud, and modernizing the agency, so every dollar reaches the entrepreneurs it was meant for.
