Last year's extreme weather conditions, including deadly heat in South Texas and Arizona, and flooding in San Joaquin, have prompted several congressional representatives to take action regarding the United States Postal Service (USPS). Concerns range from inadequate heat safety training for letter carriers to the impact of USPS rate hikes on mail volume and long-term viability. Representatives have sent letters demanding answers, changes, and pauses on price increases, emphasizing the need for federal assistance and reliable mail delivery.
My mom was a postal worker, so I understand the value of reliable mail delivery. But Kansans shouldn’t foot the bill for operational failures. I joined @repcleaver & @RepSamGraves to call on @USPS to pause price hikes until they've gotten to the root of their budget issues. https://t.co/DzWCa83wko
I sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy demanding answers to widespread mail delays and disruptions in my district. The USPS must remedy these mail delays, communicate with affected residents, and restore daily mail delivery throughout the region. https://t.co/gq2cjrzz4y
Last summer was brutal. Arizonans shouldn't be forced to deal with deadly heat on our own again. I'm fighting to pass my Extreme Heat Emergency Act to ensure Arizona gets the federal assistance we deserve this summer. https://t.co/uTCkOeCaGc https://t.co/aTQoY3SWKV
I'm concerned about USPS' plans for the Hampden mail processing facility, as well as the agency's lack of transparency. I'm calling on Postmaster General DeJoy to commit to no delayed deliveries, job losses, or further declines in customer service: https://t.co/kCQUhJEnn2
Given last year’s disastrous financial results & widespread service issues, @RepSamGraves & I are sharing our concerns regarding Postmaster General DeJoy’s Delivering for America Plan & calling on the USPS to pause its price increases on stamps. https://t.co/UURLwvCUrp
Concerned about rising stamp prices? I am too. That's why I've signed a letter demanding a closer look at the impact of USPS rate hikes on mail volume and long-term viability. 📬✉️ https://t.co/uqeHIL5uuH
Last year’s flooding was a disaster and we had to fight for @FEMA ’s help every step of the way. I pushed FEMA to make changes so San Joaquin families are protected next time, and they listened. https://t.co/nmJmnvIQhE
Metro Phoenix recorded at least 600 heat deaths during last year's historically hot summer, and state and local officials say they're already working to avoid another catastrophic death toll. https://t.co/7ycvJIaT3d
We all know the summer heat in South Texas can be deadly. That’s why I joined my congressional colleagues in sending a letter to USPS urging them to answer why our letter carriers lack adequate heat safety training and climate protection. https://t.co/5V7NlZgF44
