Usps Postmaster General Louis Dejoy
Louis DeJoy, the 75th United States Postmaster General, has announced his intention to step down after nearly five years of service. In a letter to the Postal Service Board of Governors, DeJoy requested the initiation of a search for his successor, expressing his commitment to facilitating a smooth transition. ABOUT.USPS.COM
Appointed in June 2020 during President Donald Trump's administration, DeJoy was the first postmaster general in almost two decades without prior experience within the USPS. Before his tenure, he was a logistics executive and a significant Republican fundraiser. His appointment sparked controversy due to his political affiliations and business ties. EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
Shortly after assuming office, DeJoy implemented several cost-cutting measures aimed at addressing the USPS's financial challenges. These included restricting overtime, reducing extra trips for mail delivery, and removing mail-sorting machines and collection boxes. Critics argued that these changes led to significant mail delays, especially concerning during the 2020 presidential election, which saw a substantial increase in mail-in voting due to the COVID-19 pandemic. EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
In response to widespread concern, DeJoy announced in August 2020 that he would suspend further operational changes until after the election. Despite this, various legal challenges ensued, and a federal judge later ruled that DeJoy's reforms had negatively impacted mail delivery and violated federal law. CNN.COMIn March 2021, DeJoy unveiled the "Delivering for America" plan, a 10-year strategy designed to modernize USPS operations and achieve financial sustainability. The plan proposed measures such as consolidating mail processing centers, adjusting service standards, and investing in infrastructure. While intended to address long-standing financial issues, the plan faced criticism for potential service slowdowns, particularly in rural areas. EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
DeJoy's tenure was also marked by scrutiny over his past political fundraising activities. In 2021, the FBI investigated allegations that, during his time in the private sector, DeJoy had reimbursed employees for making political donations, a practice that would violate campaign finance laws. DeJoy denied any wrongdoing, and no charges were filed. CBSNEWS.COM
Throughout his service, DeJoy maintained that his reforms were necessary to ensure the long-term viability of the Postal Service. In his resignation letter, he stated, "While there remains much critical work to be done... I have decided it is time to start the process of identifying my successor." ABOUT.USPS.COM
The Board of Governors has expressed appreciation for DeJoy's leadership during a challenging period and will begin the process of selecting a new postmaster general to continue the efforts toward modernization and financial stability
