Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is preparing to step down from his position as the head of the U.S. Postal Service. The announcement indicated that DeJoy has asked the agency’s Board of Governors to begin the process of finding his successor. In a letter to the board, DeJoy expressed his commitment to ensuring a smooth transition for the next Postmaster General and the future success of the Postal Service. While no specific timeline was provided, DeJoy emphasized the importance of continuity in leadership as the Postal Service continues to implement long-term initiatives.
During his four-and-a-half-year tenure, DeJoy oversaw significant operational changes as part of his “Delivering for America” overhaul plan, which aimed to address the financial challenges facing the agency. These changes included efforts to reduce costs, increase revenue, and modernize service standards for mail and package deliveries. Despite facing criticism, DeJoy maintained that these reforms would benefit the agency in the long run.
DeJoy’s departure follows discussions about potential privatization of the Postal Service, although the selection of a postmaster general is determined by the Board of Governors rather than the president.
Amber McReynolds, chairwoman of the Board of Governors, acknowledged DeJoy’s efforts to support the Postal Service and ensure reliable and affordable service for the public.
