Hello Team,
Yesterday, after more than a decade of work, the Senate finally passed our bi-partisan Postal Service Reform Act! I have been fighting since my first days in Congress to implement these reforms, which will save United States Postal Service more than $50 billion over the next decade, guarantee health care coverage for all Postal employees, and establish an online dashboard to provide delivery time information nationwide.
If you know me, you know our work does not stop here - today I introduced the Green Postal Service Fleet Act to guarantee that the next fleet USPS purchases is AT LEAST 75% electric, a necessary step to launch USPS into the future and reduce our government's carbon footprint significantly. We already have 66 co-sponsors, but we still need your help.
I need your support to defend our majority and any hope of electrifying the USPS fleet - contribute today:
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Since 1775, the Postal Service has guaranteed the delivery of mail to every resident of the United States, no matter where you live. For the almost 250 years since, people have depended on USPS to bring them everything from medicine to paychecks to the news. The Postal Service Reform Act ensures this indispensable service will adapt to the 21st century and be around for the next 250 years to come - as long as we are able to act on climate change and ensure a sustainable, livable future - which is why we need to pass my Green Postal Service Fleet Act today!
Your support is essential to a long, clean, green future for USPS - so please donate what you can.
Thank you. Always in your service,
Congressman Gerry Connolly
Virginia's 11th District
