"I applaud and thank the U.S. Senate for confirming Douglas J. Kramer as Deputy Administrator of SBA. Doug's confirmation is welcome news for the SBA family and great news for America's small and growing businesses.
"Doug is a doer. His passion for America's entrepreneurs is matched by the acumen he brings from the worlds of both business and government. Doug is a seasoned public servant and instantly becomes a critical agency leader who will be entrusted to help drive policy to modernize the SBA, broaden access to capital and contracts, and increase investment in America's small businesses. I want to thank Chairman Vitter and Ranking Member Shaheen for Doug's confirmation, completing SBA's senior leadership team.
