The letter urges USPS to reconsider their decision, conduct a thorough investigation on the impact on the local community, and explore alternatives that would allow postal services to remain available at the current location.\n\n\u201cFor 67 years, Hunt\u2019s Silver Lake Drug has provided the local Rochester community with convenient access to USPS services through their Hunt Silver Lake Postal Station,\u201d said Rep. Finstad. \u201cI\u2019m disappointed in the decision to end operations at this location that many of our neighbors rely on, and I call on USPS to reconsider.\u201d\n\nFinstad continued, \u201cThe Hunt Silver Lake Postal Station provides the Rochester area with essential postal services for small business owners, community members with limited transportation options, and those who rely on USPS for bill payments, medications, and correspondence. I urge USPS to investigate the impact on the local community and explore alternatives for continued postal service.\u201d\n\nBackground:", 1, "2026-06-17T06:49:24Z", "2026-06-17T06:50:53Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://finstad.house.gov/2026/06/16/finstad-calls-on-usps-to-reconsider-the-termination-of-postal-contract-for-hunt-silver-lake-postal-station-in-rochester/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8744059596210718, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
