Pocan Calls on DeJoy to Address Postal Delays in South Central Wisconsin
Today, U.S. Representative Mark Pocan (WI-02) sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy following increasingly widespread delays and disruptions in mail delivery and postal services affecting residents in his district.
“I strongly urge you to take immediate action to remedy these delays and invite you to visit Wisconsin’s Second Congressional District to hear directly from affected residents and evaluate these ongoing challenges firsthand,” Pocan wrote.
“My office has heard with rapidly increasing frequency from constituents across South Central Wisconsin regarding delays and disruptions to their mail delivery and postal services,” Pocan’s letter continued. “As WMTV 15 News recently reported, and as my office has heard through direct outreach, multiple constituents have reported going an entire week without receiving any mail, and many have experienced delays in receiving paychecks, social security checks, bills, prescription medications, business documents, insurance forms, and other urgently needed materials. Several have also expressed concerns that their outgoing mail is also being delayed, causing bills to be paid late and impeding operations for business owners.”
Additionally, Pocan requested responses to a series of questions regarding steps the Postal Service is taking to remedy mail delays, communicate with affected residents, and restore daily mail delivery throughout the region.
