Among the setbacks that were experienced during the campaign season in 2020 was the delay in the mail by USPS. President Joe Biden recently nominated three people to serve in the agency’s governing board in a move to further bring scrutiny to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
Biden announced his nominations on Wednesday of three postal experts to USPS’ governing board, bringing more Democratic scrutiny on DeJoy, whose leadership experienced slow delivery and politicization. Former deputy postmaster general Ron Stroman, mail voting advocate of the National Vote at Home Institute Amber McReynolds, and former general counsel of the American Postal Workers Union Anton Hajjar have been announced as Biden’s nominees. Should they be confirmed by the Senate, they will bring increased Democratic pressure on DeJoy, a known ally of Donald Trump.
