His remarks come on the heels of new reporting that Donald Trump is trying to take over the USPS and fire the postal board, which would make the situation in Louisville even worse. Over the weekend, over 1,000 Louisvillians attended Congressman McGarvey’s in-person town halls and on Tuesday evening, over 7,500 constituents joined his telephone town hall. Congressman McGarvey elevated personal stories from these town halls in his speech today.

I’ve heard from people who haven’t received paychecks, prescriptions, or W-2s. One woman told me she received a bill so late, she owed more in late fees than she did on the bill. What concerns me is that if the Trump Administration gets its way, things will get worse. USPS has operated independently since 1970 – but now, Donald Trump wants to take it over. Why? So that Elon Musk can go in and fire letter carriers and sorters? These are hardworking people who go above and beyond. This weekend, I heard about a Louisville letter carrier who wears a headlamp because she works well into the evening. She deserves support – not demonization. So let’s fix this. Let’s get our letter carriers the resources they need. Let’s get our sorters the machinery they need. And let’s ensure Americans don’t pay late fees if their mail is delayed. Let’s get this done. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T23:42:11Z |
