I am pleased to support this important legislation to bolster the United States Postal Service. As we all saw in the last few years, the postal service is vital to our communities and I'm glad that it is getting the attention that it deserves. From keeping rural and small-town America connected, to delivering Social Security checks and medications, to maintaining our democracy by ensuring that people can safely cast a vote, we have so much at stake. Meaningful postal reform affects us all and I am happy to support this critical program.
