WASHINGTON — Representatives Jack Bergman (MI-01) and Nikki Budzinski (IL-13) introduced a bipartisan bill, the Protect Postal Performance Act, to prevent the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from downsizing facilities in underserved areas, provide more oversight over modifications to delivery schedules, and increase public transparency on proposed changes. The legislation is co-led by Representatives Harriet Hageman (WY-AL), Jared Golden (ME-02), and Chris Pappas (NH-01).
“For those in Michigan’s First District and other rural areas, timely mail service is essential. Whether it’s for bills, medications, or other vital resources, their mail service must function properly and efficiently. They deserve a system that works, not one plagued by unnecessary delays due to poor decision-making. The Protect Postal Performance Act aims to put the needs of rural America ahead of the ill-conceived plans of bureaucrats. I’m proud to lead this with Congresswoman Budzinski to ensure accountability and transparency in the postal service,” Rep. Bergman stated.
