Comer Statement on USPS’ Pause on Operational Reforms

WASHINGTON – House Committee on Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer (R-Ky.) today issued the following statement on Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s announcement that he will pause operational reforms to improve the U.S. Postal Service’s efficiency until after the 2020 election.

“It’s shameful that Democrats continue to manufacture baseless and wildly irresponsible conspiracy theories in order to scare the American people and undermine President Trump. In doing so, all they end up undermining is their own credibility and America’s institutions. Contrary to the theatrics on the left, Americans should be confident that their vote counts regardless of whether they vote by mail or in person this fall.

“Postmaster General DeJoy has nothing to be ashamed of. The Postal Service has been in dire straits long before Mr. DeJoy’s leadership and he rightfully took action to improve its efficiency and operations to better serve the American people.”
