Sen. Ossoff proposes appointment changes, term limits for US postmaster general in new bill

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff held a news conference on Wednesday to announce “major legislation” that would change how U.S. postmaster generals are appointed and how long they serve.

Titled the “Postmaster General Reform Act of 2024,” the congressional bill would make the postmaster general a presidentially appointed position instead of a board-appointed position. The postmaster general would also have a term limit of five years, which may be renewed for another five years. Currently, the postmaster general has no fixed term.

“Postal workers are out there every day, working their hearts out to deliver the mail on time. But when they don’t have the competent leadership and competent management at the top to get the job done, we see the kinds of performance failures we’ve seen in Georgia,” Ossoff said.
