Senator Rosen Led The Bipartisan Effort To Keep Postal Operations In Nevada And Stop USPS Relocation Of Local Mail Processing

RENO, NV – Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released the following statement after she successfully fought back against the U.S. Postal Service’s attempt to move local mail processing operations from Reno to Sacramento.

“For months, I’ve been standing up for Northern Nevada, raising serious concerns about this misguided Washington plan, and leading the bipartisan fight against moving local mail processing from Reno to Sacramento,” said Senator Rosen. “The announcement that this widely opposed transfer of local mail processing operations will no longer happen is a huge win for our seniors, veterans, and every person in Northern Nevada who depends on timely mail delivery. I will always stand up to Washington on behalf of Nevada and make sure our voices are heard.”

As a member of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee that has jurisdiction over the USPS, Senator Rosen has been leading the effort to protect local postal operations in Nevada and pushing back against the Postal Service’s misguided plan. Last month, she introduced bipartisan legislation with Congressman Mark Amodei (R-NV-02) to stop USPS from implementing its plan to relocate outgoing mail processing from Reno to Sacramento.

Senator Rosen held a press conference with Governor Joe Lombardo in May to reaffirm their strong, bipartisan opposition to the proposed downsizing and relocation of outgoing mail processing by the United States Postal Service. Senator Rosen, along with Governor Lombardo, Senator Cortez Masto, and Congressman Amodei, also sent a bipartisan letter to the USPS Board of Governors expressing their serious concerns with the plan to downsize and relocate part of the operations from Reno to Sacramento.
