WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Reps. Judy Chu (CA-28) and Laura Friedman (CA-30) urged Postmaster General DeJoy to send additional resources for Los Angeles area post offices to address ongoing delays and better support constituents. Ongoing delays have added barriers to rebuilding and force residents to face delays in receiving important resources including drivers’ licenses, documents, prescription medications, and other essentials.
“Those who are already facing great loss should not be met with additional barriers as they try to rebuild their lives. These wildfires have caused heartbreaking loss for Californians, and we urge you to assist our communities in recovering as quickly as possible,” wrote the lawmakers to Postmaster DeJoy. “We respectfully request that you allocate additional resources and increase staffing to U.S. Postal Service operations in the greater Los Angeles region to mitigate delays and assist our postal workers in serving our communities effectively.”
Currently, four post offices are being rerouted which has caused delays and long lines that take hours to get everything from drivers’ licenses, important documents, prescription medications, and other essentials. This is unacceptable.
