USPS Workers Destroyed Elise Stefanik’s Campaign Mail, Stole $20,000 Worth Of Donations, Lawyers Allege

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik alleged Friday that Post Office workers stole as much as $20,000 in donations to her campaign.

In a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, lawyers for Stefanik claimed that postal workers ripped open and stole the contents of multiple packages containing donations for Stefanik’s re-election campaign. The mailings were allegedly stolen on four separate occasions, and three of the incidents happened in the span of a week. Not only were thousands of dollars allegedly stolen, the lawyers allege that the thefts have exposed campaign donors to identity theft and fraud.

“On four separate occasions between June 2022 and November 2022, packages sent by Elise for Congress containing campaign contributions were ripped open and the contents stolen while in the custody of USPS or its contractors,” the lawyers alleged in the letter. “Three of these incidents occurred in a single week.”

The lawyers allege that the packages were damaged in transit by a USPS employee or contractor. “These repeated security failures by USPS have not only resulted in the loss of nearly $20,000 in campaign contributions, but also—and more alarmingly—have exposed hundreds of Congresswoman Stefanik’s campaign supporters to potential identity theft or financial fraud.”

Stefanik’s campaign team provided photographic evidence of the thefts to the New York Post. One image showed a piece of mail torn completely in half, instead of peeled from the corner like the package instructs. A second photo shows two pieces of mail; one is torn open in the middle, and the other in the bottom left corner. Included with the two mails are a check torn in half, and two letters bearing U.S. Postal Inspection Service letterheads.

  1. It’s not just happening to her. We have dropped our bill payments in a drop box inside of the post office and the checks were stolen and cashed. Some made it as far as Georgia where they were taken from the mail and cashed. We had to fight to recover the funds. It was a lot more than 20 grand. Just take a look at the trash that is hired by USPS and you will understand.
