Guest Column: Congress Must Act to Help the New Postmaster General Pull USPS Back From the Brink
UNITED STATES, JUN 24 – The USPS faces insolvency by 2028 as large rate hikes and service cuts threaten customers, with Congress urged to support Postmaster General David Steiner's efforts to reverse decline.
- The U.S. Postal Service plans a large rate increase on July 13, 2025, and incoming Postmaster General David Steiner will assume office on July 14.
- This increase and ongoing service cuts follow the Delivering for America Plan, which critics say drove away customers and degraded service.
- A recent House Oversight Subcommittee hearing included the National Newspaper Association urging Congress to enact reforms like the USPS SERVES US Act and the Deliver for Democracy Act.
- Estimates suggest USPS may face insolvency by 2028, and officials emphasize that effective oversight and modernization of the postal regulator are needed to address current challenges.
- Congress is urged to act swiftly to support Steiner's leadership and ensure the USPS's stability without assuming the next Postmaster General will be the last.
