In preparation for Monday's hearing, where @RepAOC will question Postmaster DeJoy, we asked NY-14 constituents how the Trump administration's sabotage of the Postal Service has impacted their lives. Here's what they shared.....(1/6)
'In late June, we sent time-sensitive notarized legal documents by priority mail. They never arrived and they appear to still be sitting in a distribution center. We had to travel to another state to re-sign and re-notarize the documents in person at the lawyer's office.' (2/6)
'Medication was mailed on 7/20 and a month later it has not yet arrived. The tracking shows no updates since 7/28. I had to request a replacement shipment, which arrived but not before I had to buy a small quantity of the medication out of pocket.' (3/6)
'I rely on USPS for my small business. In the past month, several packages never arrived to customers, even with tracking. The mailboxes outside my local post office have also sometimes been locked.' (4/6)
'My building pays rent by mailling our checks to the landlord. Now, those checks are taking longer & longer to clear. Our landlord's been patient, but how many others will see a late rent check as an excuse to evict a tenant when the moratorium is over?' (5/6)
'I requested a mail-in ballot more than a month in advance of the primary election. I did not receive the ballot until the day before the actual election, so I decided to vote in person instead, which was risky since NYC's numbers were still relatively high.' (6/6)
