I come to the floor today to speak about some information that I got from whistleblowers [for]the first time [on] September 23 last year. At that time, I spoke to my fellow senators, making public very concerning whistleblower allegations.
The whistleblower alleged to my office that the Postal Service, which is an independent government agency, had hired registered sex offenders as mail carriers.
So, I investigated to find out how bad this problem was at that agency.
To date, the Postal Service has refused to provide a list of names of registered sex offenders.
The Postal Service has provided some information about the number of sex offenders working at the Postal Service.
On July 7, 2025, the Postal Service confirmed that in 2024 the agency employed 150 registered sex offenders.
The letter said of the 150, 102 had “access to the public.”
Of the 102, 77 were mail carriers.
News even more alarming in that letter [was that] the Postal Service doesn’t track the routes used by employees who are registered sex offenders.
We don’t even know the locations where these carriers deliver their mail.
The Postal Service also doesn’t track the crimes that led to an employee’s registration on the sex offender registry.
