Syed and his nomination to be deputy administrator of the Small Business administration. Madam president , this republican obstruction has gone on long enough. I ask my colleagues from across the aisle to join me in supporting this important nominee. Dilawar syed is more than qualified to serve in this role at the Small Business administration. He is an entrepreneur and a job creator with decades of firsthand experience in business entrepreneurship and community engagement. He has experience working directly with Small Business owners and has led efforts to drive Economic Growth at the local, state, and federal levels. Simply put, at the sba, he would be an asset to our nations Small Businesses and would bring a critical voice to the agency which currently lacks a fully staffed leadership team. The sba has not had a senateconfirmed deputy administrator for more than five years. This is a critical mistake. This highlevel absence weakens the agency and inhibits the sbas ability to serve
