Press Releases

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I thank the gentlelady for yielding and her kind words of introduction, but I most importantly want to thank her for being the champion, the champion for the – in defense of the Postal Service.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi held her weekly press conference today in the Capitol Visitor Center.

Hello, I’m Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney. I have the privilege of representing parts of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens in New York City. I also serve as the Chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform in the House of Representatives.

Thank you for the strong participation of the House Democratic Caucus in the Day of Action to Save the Post Office this Tuesday. More than 100 Members participated in events, and the action of our Caucus representing the concerns of the American people has made a tremendous difference.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was one of several high-profile women to address the country last night at the Democratic National Convention, sharing her support for the Biden-Harris ticket, and Speaker Pelosi joins us now from San Francisco. Madam Speaker, thank you for being with us.

This morning, I spoke with Postmaster General DeJoy and conveyed to him that his announcement is not a solution and is misleading.

Thank you all, thank you. Let us hear it for Supervisor Shamann [Walton] for his great leadership on this subject, representing District 10, as it indicates on his mask that he is are appropriately wearing. And I thank him.

Following a major public revolt around allegations that the Trump Administration is sabotaging the United States Postal Service ahead of November's election, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy today announced in a statement that he is suspending policy and operational changes until after the election. However, the statement did not include a commitment to restore the agency back to its full capacity, merely that they’d stopped doing what they've been doing the last few weeks.
