The one year term extension of Trump appointees Donald Moak and William Zollars came to an end on December 8th. It’s essential that President Biden appoint strong, diverse, and reform-oriented candidates to replace them.

The Save the Post Office Coalition has called on President Biden to nominate former Representative Brenda Lawrence and policy expert Sarah Anderson to the USPS Board of Governors. These are two public servants who will bring critical perspectives and expertise to the USPS Board of Governors –- exactly when the postal service needs it the most.

Rep. Brenda Lawrence worked as a USPS employee for 30 years before she served in Congress, representing southeast Michigan, including parts of Detroit. As a member of Congress, she valiantly defended the postal service against privatization attempts, and was the only member of Congress who was a member of the American Postal Workers Union and the National Association of Letter Carriers. Sarah Anderson is a policy expert who has written extensively on USPS and economic and financial issues, comes from a family of letter carriers.

We deserve a strong, diverse, and reform-oriented Board of Governors to hold the Postmaster General to the true mission and public service goals of the USPS.

We also need leadership with enthusiasm towards building the Postal Service of the future, who will think creatively about opportunities to expand services that will bring in new revenue like postal banking and other products, instead of narrowly focusing on service cuts and price hikes.

Tell Biden to nominate Rep. Brenda Lawrence and Sarah Anderson to the USPS Board of Governors today by adding your name now.
