politician United States

Louis DeJoy is the Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service, having taken office in June 2020. His tenure has been characterized by significant challenges, including navigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, overseeing a surge in mail-in ballots during two presidential elections, and implementing a controversial 10-year plan aimed at modernizing the postal service while addressing financial losses. DeJoy, a Republican donor and former logistics executive, has faced criticism for cost-cutting measures that some argue have negatively affected mail delivery, particularly in rural areas. After nearly five years, he has announced his intention to step down, prompting the search for his successor.
