Folks — Ever since he was appointed by Donald Trump, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has done everything he can to make the USPS more expensive and less convenient to use.
In 2020, he decommissioned mail-sorting machines, removed drop boxes, and slowed down mail delivery right before the election — where a record number of mail-in ballots were cast due to the pandemic.
Last year, he slowed mail delivery again, this time right before the holidays, and hiked up the cost of postal services.
Now, he’s pushing to raise prices for consumers yet again. Thankfully, with President Biden’s newly confirmed nominees joining the USPS Board of Governors, they will have the authority to finally fire him and remove one of Trump’s lasting appointees.
Especially with it being midterm year, we can’t afford to keep Louis DeJoy in charge any longer. Join me in calling on the Board of Governors to fire DeJoy and protect USPS from future damage today.
There’s no reason why DeJoy should’ve ever held this position in the first place. Before he got this job, he served as the deputy finance chair of the Republican National Committee — and he’s the first person in the past two decades to hold this position with no prior experience at the USPS.
My colleague over in the House, Rep. Katie Porter showed the nation just how unaware he is by asking him basic questions about USPS pricing, where he couldn’t tell her the cost of mailing a postcard.
And on top of that, the FBI opened an investigation last summer on DeJoy’s alleged campaign finance scheme, where he pressured his employees to make large donations to Republican candidates in exchange for bonuses.
DeJoy has proven time and again that he will continue to choose his own self interests over the USPS — a critical public service Americans count on. We must make sure he leaves before causing any more damage to our Postal Service.
If you agree, sign on today to put the pressure on the Board of Governors to fire DeJoy immediately.
Thank you for taking the time to stand with me in raising awareness of this important issue.
