Hi all,

Hope you've been well during these past 2 crazy months. I wanted to post a short update because 10 billion in financial aid has been given to the USPS via the recent Covid relief bill - however - “Congress must pass a comprehensive postal reform package that will help ensure the viability of the USPS into the future.” according to Gerry Connolly from Virginia's 11th District. 

I don't believe this postal reform package will be possible without winning Georgia today. If you're in Georgia and wish to help the USPS, along with the entire country, I would recommend voting for Jon Ossof and Raphael Warnock.

If elected I believe the Senate would be more sympathetic to passing a comprehensive postal reform package for the viability of the USPS in the long run. 

If you're in GA and need information on voting check out Fair Fight
