Protect the United States Postal Service
The United State Postal Service’s existence is clearly laid out in the U.S. Constitution. The USPS provides critical services to communities across Wisconsin and the country. Small businesses rely on the postal service to deliver to their customers, seniors use the postal service to receive essential medications, and millions of voters are expected to vote by mail in the November election.
