President Biden to Nominate Former Labor Secretary to U.S. Postal Board

Marty Walsh had been serving as executive director of a sports association

On Thursday, President Joe Biden said he will nominate former Labor Secretary Marty Walsh to serve on the U.S. Postal Board of Governors after lawmakers had urged action.

Earlier this month, Reuters first reported more than 80 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives had written Biden urging him to nominate two candidates to open seats on the Postal board, complaining about slow deliveries and increased costs. Two seats became vacant in December.

Walsh stepped down as Biden's labor secretary last year when he was named executive director of the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA).
