Some promising news: the Senate Homeland Security Committee has approved President Joe Biden’s nominees to the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors.
Now they head to a final confirmation vote on the full Senate floor.
Confirming these nominees puts us just one step away from having the first fully operational Postal Service Board in years — and one step closer to reining in Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
A Trump mega donor, DeJoy has spent his time at the USPS doing everything in his power to run it into the ground. During his tenure service has plummeted.
Last year he carried out an unprecedented attack on our nation’s mail service in the middle of a pandemic and a presidential election. Now he wants to raise postage rates, reduce post office hours, and slow delivery even further.
This has gone on for too long. It’s time to restore the confidence of the American people in their Postal Service.
