Ranking Members Mfume and Connolly Demand Answers from Postal Board of Governors on Sudden Departure of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and Shady DOGE Agreement
Rep. Kweisi Mfume (MD-D)

(WASHINGTON, D.C. – March 31, 2025) – Today, Rep. Kweisi Mfume, Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Government Operations, and Rep. Gerald E. Connolly, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent a letter to Amber F. McReynolds, Chair of the United States Postal Service’s Board of Governors (the Governors), escalating Congress’s concerns that DOGE is attempting to actively undermine the stability and integrity of the Postal Service.  In their letter, the Ranking Members call for an immediate briefing from the Chair and Vice Chair of the Governors after the sudden departure of former Postmaster General Louis DeJoy directly after he signed an agreement with DOGE through the General Services Administration to assess operational activities and drive down costs.

“We write regarding significant recent developments within the U.S. Postal Service (Postal Service) that call into question this public institution’s stability, integrity, and independence.  These concerns include repeated calls by President Trump and senior public officials to reorganize the Postal Service, a back-room agreement with Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) representatives, and the sudden resignation of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.  We respectfully request that the chair and vice chair of the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors (the Governors) provide an immediate briefing on Postal Service operations and activities since January 20, 2025, including the Postmaster General’s agreement with DOGE and the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Postmaster General’s sudden departure thereafter,” wrote the Ranking Members. 

In their letter, the Ranking Members outline a timeline of the Trump-Musk Administration’s concerning actions at the Postal Service:

  • On March 24, 2025, the Washington Post reported that “[r]ecent tension between DeJoy and the Trump administration over the work of the U.S. DOGE Service contributed to the White House’s antipathy toward the mail chief.”  The reporting highlighted that the former Postmaster General “refused to give [DOGE officials] broad access to agency systems, according to four people familiar with the interactions.”
  • On March 13, 2025, Members of Congress learned that Postmaster General DeJoy signed agreements with “DOGE representatives” from GSA to assist the Postal Service in “identifying and achieving further efficiencies.”
  • On February 20, 2025, further reporting indicated that President Trump was preparing to fire the bipartisan Postal Board of Governors and unlawfully “merge” the Postal Service into the Commerce Department, “potentially throwing the 250-year-old mail provider and trillions of dollars of e-commerce transactions into turmoil.”
  • On December 14, 2024, the Washington Post reported that President Trump was considering actions to privatize the Postal Service.

“Based on the chaos left in DOGE’s wake, we have reason to believe that any DOGE effort to restructure the Postal Service could have a detrimental effect on the American people—jeopardizing the timely delivery of life-saving medications, mail-in ballots, important financial documents, and personal letters, especially in rural or less-profitable areas that the private sector does not serve,” concluded the Ranking Members.

In his final public statement as Postmaster General, Mr. DeJoy highlighted that the Governors are working to appoint a permanent successor.  While the President seeks to consolidate power into the executive branch, federal law defines the Postal Service as an independent agency and requires the Postal Board of Governors—not the President—to appoint the Postmaster General.
