Collins Leads Letter to USPS Over Operations Breakdown In Georgia Ahead of Holidays

Washington, D.C.—Today, Representative Mike Collins (R-Ga.) led a group of Georgia's U.S. House delegation in sending a letter to the United States Postal Service (USPS) regarding operations breakdowns within the state ahead of the holiday season. The letter, sent to US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, relays constituent concerns about various issues with mail service facing communities across the state.

Key Excerpts

"Our constituents are taxpayers and customers of USPS. They depend upon the agency to fulfill its mission, and when it does not, to provide top-tier customer service. That’s why we’re concerned by reports from our constituents, including local elected officials, about the failure of USPS to respond to complaints with action–and not just words."

"These concerns are particularly pertinent during the holiday season as Americans send letters and gifts to family and friends. Failing to deliver those items to our constituents will produce a not-so-merry Christmas. Additionally, there are very real health concerns involved. Many Americans rely on mail delivery to receive medications and other life-saving products."

Background 

The letter was signed by thirteen members of the Georgia delegation—eight Republicans and all five Democrats—and requests a response no later than January 8, 2024.
