The usps plays a Critical Role in the lives of countless americans. Postal workers deliver lifesaving v. A. Medications to our veterans. They ensure that seniors receive their Social Security checks. They provide access to essential supplies in communities of color, including for our tribal communities. For small businesses, especially those in rural communities, the Postal Service may be the only way they can conduct business. Not to mention, we have an election quickly approaching and Many Americans plan to vote by mail. Making timely mail delivery critical, critical for our democracy. But, under postmaster general dejoys leadership, we have seen a shocking mismanagement of this critical service. Across the country, weve seen mail delays. Sorting machines removed from post offices and postal the workers who have their overtime slashed. All of these changes are occurring under the postmaster generals watch. Ive personally received thousands of letters from nevadans who are outraged at whats happening. One letter in particular stands out. It is from a proud veteran of the United States air force who currently lives in las vegas. Just like other veterans, his medications come through the mail. Any disruption in receiving them could put his health at risk. He says that the changes under the postmaster generals watch are an uncaring, politically motivated move that puts the health and wellbeing of all veterans in jeopardy. During the recent summit hearing, i asked mr. Dejoy to explain the changes that occurred under his leadership. I asked him to provide any analysis regarding the impacts his policies would have on veterans, seniors in rural communities. He said no. When i asked him to provide details about board meetings when these decisions were made, he said no. I asked him for transparency and he looked me and the American People watching in the eye and he said no. He said no when i asked him to justify the destruction he has caused. He said no to insuring such problems would never happen again. If we want to fix these issues, we need to know the data behind these decisions freedom the Democratic Caucus and i are demanding immediate transparency and the reversal of harmful operational changes. My constituents and allamericans deserve nothing less. The senate must now vote on the house passed usps bill which reverses mr. Dejoys destructive changes in order to save the Postal Service and protect our democracy. Whether it is confronting covid19 or the postmaster general, we need leaders who will take action. The American People are depending on them. They are depending on us. That is what i will continue to do. We will keep fighting for the truth and transparency. And we will keep fighting for the American People. Thank you.
