CNS News–A Collective of over 80 Democratic members of the U.S. House, led by Representatives Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.), have issued a pressing appeal to President Joe Biden to promptly nominate two candidates to the Postal Service Board of Governors. This call to action is driven by concerns over operational delays, escalating customer costs, and the overall direction of the United States Postal Service (USPS).
The urgency of the matter is amplified by the recent vacancies left by the departure of Postal Governors Lee Moak and William Zollars. The lawmakers underscored the critical function the USPS serves in the daily lives of Americans, emphasizing the need for judicious selection of board members to steer the organization towards improved efficiency and sustainability.
They pointed to the challenges plaguing the postal service, including consistent delivery delays, price increases, and a diminishing mail volume, as indicators of a business model in need of thorough reassessment. The advocacy for new appointments is intertwined with a broader critique of the current postal leadership under Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, whose tenure has been marred by controversy.

DeJoy’s strategies, particularly his 10-year austerity plan, have been met with skepticism and characterized by some as a veiled attempt at privatization, aligning with broader Republican agendas. This perspective gained traction following revelations about DeJoy’s substantial financial contributions to Trump’s 2016 campaign before he was appointed Postmaster General.
In their communication, the Democratic lawmakers articulated a vision for a Postal Service that remains a public utility accessible to all, rather than being segmented into costly specialty services that only a few can afford. They advocate for a Postal Board of Governors that is diverse, forward-looking, and unwaveringly committed to the USPS’s foundational mission of public service.
