Several lawmakers and officials have expressed concerns over potential changes to USPS distribution centers that could impact rural communities' access to essential services like medicine and ballot deliveries. They have urged Postmaster General DeJoy to halt plans that may lead to job losses and slower service. Lawmakers from various states, including Virginia, Maine, Illinois, Nevada, and Montana, have been actively advocating for the protection of USPS jobs and timely mail delivery amidst restructuring discussions.

The attempt to transfer outgoing operations at the Reno mail processing center to Sacramento would hurt Nevada small businesses. Yet another reason why this proposal should be stopped.
