Cruz, David Grosskopf Jr., and Howard Komine all running on the Concerned Letter Carriersslate. We break down who they are, where they come from, and the real life experiences that shaped their fight for letter carriers. The conversation dives into the current state of the NationalAssociation of Letter Carriers, the growing disconnect manymembers feel, and why these candidates believe it’s time to restore accountability, transparency, and trust at the national level.
