U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen hsa worked to protect USPS, elections

The valiant efforts of local lawmakers should be applauded for actions to slow the blatant assault on our Post Office and on our free elections that seem to be taking place on a daily basis by the man who currently occupies the White House.

U.S. Reps Rick Larsen and Suzan DelBene joined labor unions outside the Post Office in Everett recently to denounce the attack on voting rights before they both flew back to the nation’s capital to support legislation designed to ensure the safety of the Post Office and integrity of the 2020 elections.

Larsen is not a newcomer in the effort to protect the sacred federal agency. He should be praised for his willingness to stand up to President Trump with his vote for the USPS Fairness Act back in February as well as joining with other lawmakers to pass the Heroes Act in May that included $25 billion for the Postal Service and an additional $3.6 billion to help prepare for the general election.

Our Congressman kept up the good fight in August when he joined Democrats in the House on a letter to reverse the policies that have already weakened the Postal Service.

Thank you, Rick Larsen. You truly live up to your title as the representative for the residents of our district. Trump does not deserve another four years in the White House, but Rep. Larsen has shown he deserves another term in Congress.
