Colorado Representative Ken Buck took to Twitter on Thursday to express his concerns about the United States Postal Service (USPS) and its handling of critical mail deliveries. In his tweet, he stated that his constituents have been experiencing extensive delays for these deliveries, which he deems unacceptable.
To address this issue, Rep. Buck has formed a bipartisan caucus along with Representative Pettersen in an effort to demand answers and improve mail service for Coloradans. The USPS has faced criticism in recent months over issues related to mail-in voting during the 2020 presidential election and concerns over the agency’s financial viability.
Last year, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy implemented cost-cutting measures at USPS that led to widespread delivery delays across the country. These cuts were later reversed due to public outcry and pressure from lawmakers.
The formation of this new caucus indicates that postal issues remain a concern for many Americans, particularly those living in Colorado who rely on timely mail delivery for critical services such as medication or other essential items. It remains to be seen what specific actions will be taken by Reps. Buck and Pettersen through their caucus, but it is clear that they are committed to addressing these problems head-on.
