Michaud and Pingree put Goodall's name forward to the Obama Administration for the position. "Seth Goodall's leadership skills and small business experience make him an excellent choice to be the next Regional SBA Administrator. His experience starting, financing, and growing a business position him well to fight for our entrepreneurs. He's been in their shoes and he knows what it takes to get them to the next level. Seth's firsthand experience and depth of knowledge in business policy will serve Maine and New England well, and I look forward to working with him," said Michaud. "Seth is just what we need at the SBA," Pingree said. "He knows what it's like to have to meet payroll, raise capital and grow a business. The SBA can play an important role in helping small businesses and I'm confident Seth will be able to put those resources to work in New England. I can't think of a better person for this job." Goodall is an attorney and State Senator and previously co-owned a landscaping company that he helped grow into a multi-million dollar business that now employees 15 year-round and 30 seasonal employees. Goodall will leave his State Senate seat at the end of the current legislative session to assume his new position at the SBA. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
