“This is exactly what the first American agenda is doing – by ending inflation, lowering taxes, unleashing American energy dominance, lowering regulations, condensing fraud, waste, and abuse throughout the government,” Levler said in its opening notes.
Levler and her husband, Jeff, established the Fortune 500 Financial Services and Technology, and told the legislators that she intends to donate her annual salary of $ 207,500 as an official for SBA for charities.
Loving, whose net wealth is estimated at about one billion dollars, has previously donated his annual salary of the Senate of $ 174,000 between 2019 and 2021 to more than 40 charities in Georgia and non -profit organizations.
These organizations included food banks, religious groups, and opposition organizations, care/adoption groups, as well as organizations that enhance health care, agriculture, education, law enforcement and disaster mitigation.
On Thursday, the Senate voted with a margin of 51-43 to make Luvler's nomination for the final confirmation.
The Chairman of the Senior Senate Committee of Senate, Senator Johnny Ernst, R-LOWA, supported Lovler's nomination, citing the “Safarian tolerance policy of waste, fraud and abuse” within the agency.
In addition, Ernst expressed its support for LOEFLER plans to make a SBA widespread review to get rid of any waste spending.

“Senator Lovler is very qualified for this role,” Ernest said in the Senate Hall on Thursday. “As a successful businesswoman, it is clear that Senator Lovler really understands what is needed to be an entrepreneur and will be an effective voice for small companies throughout America.”
However, a member of the Small Business Committee in the Senate and Entrepreneurship, Senator Ed Marki, D-Mass has returned to Lovler's nomination amid concern that its confirmation will pave the way for the newly created government of government competence (DOGE) to “other than Legal for financing “for small business owners. As a result, he said that Trump is looking to fill his government with those who will follow his “illegal offer.”
Marky and Lavler also erupted during its assertion session in January after the Trump administration announced on January 27 that it will freeze federal funds and grants aimed at eliminating “Wokeness” and “government weapon”.

While the White House canceled the memo on January 29, White House press secretary Caroline Levit said that the freezing of federal financing had been in effect.
As a result, Marki pressed Luwever about whether she believed this step was legal or not, following a violent reaction from members of Congress that the Trump administration tried illegally to defraud Congress and block money.
“I fully agree to President Trump's decision to stop the waste spending.” “This has led to the victory of a landslide that many Americans were waiting for excessive government spending exemption.”
