LULAC Congratulates Jovita Carranza As New Administrator Of Small Business
Administration

Washington, DC – Sindy Benavides, National Chief Executive Officer of the League
of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), issued the following statement today
on the appointment of Jovita Carranza as the 36th head of the U.S. Small Business
Administration (SBA):

“The confirmation of Ms. Carranza by the Senate at the start of a new year is a
significant and historic event for an individual whose career has earned her the
recognition and respect of our nation’s leaders in business, finance and
community stakeholders. U.S. Latino purchasing power is growing 70% faster than
non-Latino sectors, and this year, our purchasing volume is projected to top $1.7
trillion. Having an advocate in the administration such as Ms. Carranza will
greatly help accelerate more participation among millions of Latinos, which will
continue boosting our contributions to the nation’s economy.

Carranza’s own life reflects that of many Latino individuals who have achieved
success despite seemingly insurmountable odds. She was the youngest of three
children born to Mexican immigrant parents in a working-class family in Chicago.
Her father held a factory job while her mother cared for the children and
household. Carranza herself held two jobs even as she raised her child alone,
while also attending college.

Carranza’s career includes having served as United States Treasurer and as the
principal advisor to Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, where she was responsible for
overseeing the federal department’s Office of Consumer Policy. She also worked as
Deputy Administrator of SBA under President George W. Bush from 2006-2009,
overseeing more than 80 field offices and a portfolio of loans of $80 billion.

LULAC especially applauds Carranza’s commitment and passion for championing women
entrepreneurs, including Latinas who represent the fastest growing sector of
small business owners in the United States. We look forward to working with
Administrator Carranza as we are confident she will be an asset to this
administration and the Latino community.”
