On Tuesday, Feb. 18, Ossoff issued the statement following the announcement that DeJoy will step down from his position.
Amid the announcement, Ossoff again expressed disappointment in the agency’s performance over the past year, citing persistent delays and failures that have affected families, businesses, seniors, and veterans in Georgia.
“USPS leadership has failed Georgia for over a year, leading to abysmal on-time performance and hardship for families, businesses, seniors, and veterans,” Ossoff said. “That’s why I’ve led aggressive oversight to demand better performance and prevent disastrous delays across our state.”
As the USPS Board of Governors begins its search for a new postmaster general, Ossoff called on them to search for leadership capable of restoring reliable service for Georgia’s residents.
“…I urge them to find new leadership that will swiftly restore normal service that Georgia families and businesses can rely on, and I will continue holding them accountable,” Ossoff said.
