Louis DeJoy is set to take over in June.Louis DeJoy, a North Carolina businessman who has given millions of dollars to the Republican Party, including the Trump campaign, has been named the nation's new postmaster general.
DeJoy said in a statement that he looks forward"to working with the supporters of the Postal Service in Congress and the Administration to ensure the Postal Service remains an integral part of the United States government. Postal workers are the heart and soul of this institution, and I will be honored to work alongside them and their unions."The New York native was chairman and CEO of New Breed Logistics, which among other things worked with the Postal Service.
DeJoy has contributed more than $1.2 million to the Trump Victory Fund, and millions more to Republican Party organizations and candidates, according to Federal Election Commission records. He was also in charge of fundraising for the Republican National Convention."The idea that we would appoint and accept the appointment of a partisan political donor with no credentials ... is reckless and irresponsible ...
The Postal Service's finances have been a problem for many years. It ran a deficit of $8.8 billion last fiscal year, and Postal Service officials are in talks with the Treasury Department over terms of a $10 billion line of credit for the agency, which Congress included in the CARES Act approved in March. Without significant financial help, postal officials have warned the agency may soon run out of cash.
