The House approved Delivering for America Act (H.R. 8015) that would reverse recent changes and prohibit the U.S. Postal Service from changing any operational or service-related functions on Saturday.
The legislation would also send $25 billion in emergency funds to shore up the agency ahead of November’s presidential election.
Congresswoman Elaine Luria (VA-02) released a statement on her vote in support of the Delivering for America Act (H.R. 8015).
“Millions of Americans rely on the USPS to maintain their livelihoods as they deliver medication, essential goods, and learning materials that people need. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is especially critical for us to protect this indispensable institution,” said Luria.
“Additionally, veterans make up a significant portion of the USPS workforce, as almost 100,000 USPS employees served our nation in the Armed Forces. The USPS should not be a political bargaining chip when Americans’ lives are on the line. I urge the Senate to pass this critical bill.”
Recently, Luria joined a bipartisan letter to the Postmaster General asking about operational changes that are causing Coastal Virginians to experience significant delays in mail delivery.
