“Whether you live in an apartment building or a house, people in the Inland Empire deserve to receive their letters and packages safely and on time,” said Rep. Pete Aguilar. “I’ve heard from countless constituents, law enforcement and mail carriers about their frustrations with mail theft and the risks it poses to our community. That’s why I pushed for bipartisan changes in a recent funding bill to urge the Postal Service to respond faster to these problems and why I’m proud to support legislation to make it safer for mail carriers to do their jobs. I’ll keep fighting for these policies until they become law so everyone in our region can send, receive and deliver mail securely and without delay.”

“NALC appreciates Rep. Aguilar for bringing letter carriers’ voice to this important event,” said Brian L. Renfroe, President, National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC). “Mail security starts with protecting the dedicated, hardworking letter carriers who deliver it. We appreciate the congressman’s support of the Protect Our Letter Carriers Act (H.R. 1065), and we look forward to working with Congress on ways to protect letter carriers and America’s mail.”
