Hawley Demands Postmaster General Return Bonus or Resign After Attempt to Evade Accountability

Tuesday, June 30, 2026

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) released the following statement, urging the Postmaster General David Steiner to resign unless he commits to forego bonuses until mail delivery to Missourians is timely. Hawley's statement comes after the Postmaster General wrote a letter to Senator Hawley attempting to shift blame and evade accountability.

Last week, Senator Hawley grilled the Postmaster General over why he accepted large bonuses for himself while Missourians' mail fails to be delivered. The Postmaster General punted accountability after Senator Hawley questioned him in a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing last week over his agency's dismal service in Missouri, which included the dumping of a massive pile of mail in St. Louis.
