 On Thursday, I joined several of my colleagues and Patrick Yoes, the President of the National Fraternal Order of Police, at a press conference in support of our men and women in blue. Former Sheriff, Congressman John Rutherford (FL-5) introduced H.R. 743, the Protect and Serve Act of 2023, a piece of legislation that will establish a new criminal offense for knowingly assaulting a law enforcement officer and causing serious bodily injury (or attempting to do so) in circumstances that affect interstate commerce. I am a proud cosponsor of the Protect and Serve Act. Our officers deserve Congress’ full support and protection.
However, our reverence for law enforcement officers should extend far beyond a solitary week of recognition. It is a commitment that we must uphold every single day. Providing the necessary resources, equipment, and training to enable them to carry out their duties with efficacy and safety is of utmost importance. Our support for them is vital.

When Mr. DeJoy assumed his position in May 2020, he inherited a Postal Service that was dangerously close to running out of funds and in dire need of modernization. Since then, Mr. DeJoy has proven himself as a proactive leader. Setting himself apart from his predecessors, he developed and effectively implemented the Delivering for America plan. His instrumental role in the development and passage of the Postal Service Reform Act demonstrated his commitment to its future.
