Guest Column: Congress Must Act to Help the New Postmaster General Pull USPS Back From the Brink
- The United States Postal Service intends to implement a significant postage rate hike on July 13, 2025, as part of its current reform strategy, just one day before David Steiner assumes the role of Postmaster General on July 14.
- The rate increase and other policies follow a strategy that some view as having driven away customers and created operational challenges for the USPS.
- A recent House Oversight Subcommittee hearing included statements from the National Newspaper Association urging Congress to enable regulatory reforms and accurate service measurement.
- The rate hike exceeds inflation, will deepen financial deficits, and is said to restrict Steiner's ability to improve service alongside ongoing network consolidations and service cuts.
- Congress is urged to act quickly by halting the current plan and enacting legislation like the Deliver for Democracy Act and USPS SERVES US Act to support Steiner and the USPS's future.
