ST. LOUIS – Missouri U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley sent a letter to U.S. Postal Service Inspector General on Monday, seeking answers to ongoing mail delays and disruptions in the St. Louis region.

Hawley tells USPS Inspector General Tammy Whitcomb Hull that a growing number of Missouri residents have contacted his office and notified of “insufficient mail delivery services.”

Hundreds of Tesla vehicles parked outside Chesterfield Mall. Why?

“For some constituents, the result has been routine delivery delays, while others have not received deliveries at all,” said Hawley in the letter.

Some residents have informed Hawley that they’re not receiving essential documents like utility bills and social security checks in the mail or have received them weeks after key due dates.

Missouri U.S. Rep. Cori Bush cited similar concerns in a letter to U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in February. Bush and Hawley’s letter follow a January FOX 2 report that addressed mail delays and staffing shortages within USPS.
