From our first Postmaster, Benjamin Franklin, to today, the Postal Service has been an integral part of our democracy.

Vicki believes in the importance of helping government work at its best to serve the American people.

The Postal Service needs Vicki Kennedy. The Board needs talented, proven leaders who can assess the problems facing the USPS and creatively and capably help the Postal Service resolve those challenges.
