Postmaster General Louis DeJoy says it's time to find his replacement

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is planning his exit as the leader of the U.S. Postal Service, a closing chapter to his contentious four-plus year tenure at the agency.

In a letter released by the USPS on Tuesday, DeJoy asked the agency's board of governors to begin the process in identifying his successor.(1)

“While there remains much critical work to be done to ensure that the Postal Service can be financially viable as we continue to serve the nation in our essential public service mission, I have decided it is time to start the process of identifying my successor and of preparing the Postal Service for this change,” DeJoy said in a statement.

The statement did not say when DeJoy plans to step down.
