Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernández, along with senators Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Luján have sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, urging the United States Postal Service to re-establish a permanent location.
“We know that rural post offices are the lifeblood of the community. They don’t just deliver mail. They deliver medication. They deliver checks. But they also create a community where people gather to share stories as they pick up their mail,” said Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-New Mexico)
