U.S. Senator Roger Marshall engaged in a dialogue with United States Postal Service (USPS) Postmaster General Louis DeJoy regarding mail delays affecting Kansas. This interaction took place during a Senate Governmental Affairs hearing, where Senator Marshall serves as a committee member responsible for overseeing the USPS.
Senator Marshall presented questions directly from Kansans who have expressed concerns about mail delivery, particularly noting dissatisfaction over price hikes at the USPS without corresponding improvements in service quality. He highlighted issues of slow mail deliveries, especially impacting rural areas in Kansas.
Prior to the hearing, Senator Marshall conducted a statewide survey reaching hundreds of thousands of residents. The survey revealed that more than half of respondents viewed their mail service as unreliable, with 70% experiencing delays within the last year.
Additional topics addressed by Senator Marshall included resolving operational challenges at the USPS’ Kansas City Processing and Distribution Center and discussing when the facility in Winchester, KS might reopen.
