Minnesota, North Dakota senators appeal to Postmaster General

U.S. Sens. Tina Smith and Amy Klobuchar, both Minnesota Democrats, and John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer, both North Dakota Republicans, urged the Postmaster General this week to take action to improve postal services in the Minnesota-North Dakota Postal District. As the holiday season continues and the volume of mail increases, it's especially important to ensure there aren't delivery delays across the two states, a press release states.

"As our constituents prepare for the busy holiday season, we urge you to take actions to ensure that any performance issues are resolved in a timely manner so that Minnesotans and North Dakotans do not experience significant service disruptions this winter," wrote the senators. 

"For Minnesotans and North Dakotans, the Postal Service is an essential lifeline, delivering prescriptions, pay checks, and messages from loved ones.  During the holiday season, it is even more essential.  Any service disruptions within the MN-ND District create real consequences for the people who rely on your services, and as Postmaster General, we look to you to provide timely action to address these critical issues," they concluded.
