Linda McMahon Focuses on Education, Kelly Loeffler Leads Small Business Administration

There is important news involving Linda McMahon in the last few days, but listeners should note that she is currently serving as Education Secretary, not as Administrator of the Small Business Administration. According to the Paul Hastings regulatory update and government appointment reports, Kelly Loeffler has been heading the SBA since February 2025, while Linda McMahon was appointed to the Department of Education in March 2025. Most recent headlines naming Linda McMahon are related to education, not SBA activity. In her current role, Linda McMahon announced an increase in federal grants for historically Black colleges and universities as well as tribal colleges according to the Bradenton Times and other sources. The Department of Education redirected nearly five hundred million dollars in funding, with Linda McMahon stating that the agency scrutinized grant programs to prioritize merit and excellence in education, rather than support programs deemed racially discriminatory. She emphasized that every available tool would be used to advance educational outcomes and opportunity for all Americans. Officials from UNCF, a national advocacy organization for historically Black colleges and universities, called the funding infusion a godsend in a statement earlier this week. There is confusion in public reporting that connects Linda McMahon to the Small Business Administration, likely because she served as Administrator of the SBA from 2017 to 2019. However, recent regulatory summaries and official calendars confirm that Kelly Loeffler has held the SBA post throughout 2025 and has overseen recent agency decisions, such as the implementation of executive orders on debanking in response to President Trump's directives. Listeners looking for the most recent information on the Small Business Administration should track announcements from Kelly Loeffler. Under her watch, the SBA recently extended the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs for an additional year, following a unanimous committee vote according to the House Committee on Small Business. This extension allows small business owners extra time to apply for grants and continue planning new research and development projects without interruption. Linda McMahon continues to appear in national headlines for her education policy changes, but not for decisions in small business administration. For listeners interested in SBA news, the current top stories concern program extensions and the agency's efforts, led by Kelly Loeffler, to address banking access for small business owners as part of national efforts to eliminate politicized debanking.
