Senator Enzi Expresses Support for Wyoming Postal Workers

At a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing Friday, U.S. Senator for Wyoming Mike Enzi  applauded the work of postal service employees in Wyoming despite the ongoing challenges they are faced with.

Enzi said many changes, such as moving mail sorting machines that have drastically affected Wyoming, were implemented during previous administrations and not by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. He expressed his support for the postmaster and encouraged him to look at options to increase the efficiency of the USPS. 

During the hearing, DeJoy reiterated that to avoid even the appearance of any impact on election mail, he would be suspending any operational reforms until after the general election in November. He also noted that ensuring mail-in ballots are delivered is his first priority this year and committed the USPS to processing election mail as first-class mail, regardless of the postage.
