WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/
-- Linda McMahon, the 25th Administrator of the
U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), will discuss the state of
America's small businesses at a National Press Club Headliners
Luncheon on Thursday, May 17,
2018.
Nominated by then-President-elect Trump in December of 2016 and
confirmed by the U.S. Senate in February
2017, McMahon advocates on behalf of the nearly 30 million
small businesses in America, fulfilling the mission of the SBA to
"aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests" of small
businesses by offering loans, loan guarantees, government
contracts, financial counseling and other forms of assistance.
McMahon is an entrepreneur and business executive in her own
right, serving as the co-founder and former CEO of World Wrestling
Entertainment (WWE). She left the WWE and entered the
political ring, running in 2010 as a Republican for the United States Senate from Connecticut. McMahon lost that bid to
Democratic Party nominee Richard
Blumenthal. She ran again for Connecticut's other Senate seat in 2012, but
was defeated by Democratic Representative Chris Murphy.
Lunch will be served in the club's Holeman Lounge at
12:30 p.m., with remarks beginning at
1 p.m., followed by a
question-and-answer session ending at 2
p.m. Tickets cost $25 for
