Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanikโs (R-N.Y.) campaign is accusing U.S. Postal Service workers of stealing more than $20,000 worth of donor checks they sent through the mail.
Stefanik's campaign alleges that four separate packages sent in June, October, and November 2022 were cut into and that postal police refused to escalate the matter.
On Thursday, the New York Congresswoman's campaign reportedly sent a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy about the โrepeated, targeted theft of campaign contributions from packages sent through the United States Postal Service.โ
โCongresswoman Stefanik and her campaign supporters are not the only Americans who have been victimized by mail theft. Mail theft is rampant in the United States, and USPS appears unwilling or unable to effectively deter or prevent it,โ the letter says.

The letter also addressed concerns about personal data issues, including concerns of identity theft for some individuals, with the theft of checks.
โThese repeatedย security failures by USPS have notย only resulted in the loss of nearly $20,000 in campaign contributions, but alsoโand more alarmingโhave exposed hundreds of Congresswoman Stefanik's campaign supporters to potential identity theft or financial fraud,โ the letter continues.
Stefanik was reelected as House GOP conference chairwoman last month, after easily cruising to a re-election victory in New York's 21st congressional district.
