Nebraska Reps. Adrian Smith and Don Bacon, along with Sens. Deb Fischer and Pete Ricketts sent a letter on Feb. 12 to President Donald Trump expressing concern over the actions of the U.S. Postmaster General.
“The U.S. Postal Service has a legal obligation to provide Americans with universal service,” the letter said. “However, under the leadership of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, the USPS has seen astronomical budget deficits year after year, while on-time mail delivery performance sharply declined.”
The representatives and senators encourage Trump to appoint individuals “ready to advance solutions to fulfill USPS’s duty to serve every American” to the USPS board of governors.
The four Nebraska elected officials point to the importance of mail service in rural communities.
