President Trump nominated Jeffrey Brodsky, Robert Steffens and William Gallo, three Republican nominees, to serve on the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors (BOG).

The BOG is structured to include the postmaster general, deputy postmaster general and nine seats, with no more than five from the president’s party. Currently, there are four sitting governors—two Democrats, one Republican and one independent—with five vacant governor seats.

Jeffrey Brodsky would fill a vacant seat for a term ending in 2029. Brodsky is a co-founder of Quest Turnaround Advisors, LLC, a management consulting firm that advises companies experiencing financial and operational difficulties on turnaround and crisis management. Brodsky has overseen the bankruptcy and restructuring of many major companies, including Adelphia Communications Corporation, mortgage lender Residential Capital and Premium TV.

Robert Steffens is nominated to fill a vacant seat for a term ending in 2032. Steffens is an entertainment executive currently serving as chief financial officer at FloSports. Steffens spent most of his career at Marvel Entertainment, serving in various operational and financial oversight roles from 2002 to 2023.

William Gallo would fill a vacant seat for a term ending in 2030. Gallo is a retired commodities broker and entrepreneur from New York.

In addition to these three nominations, earlier this year, President Trump resent Anthony Lomangino’s nomination to the Senate for a term that would expire in 2031 for a Republican seat.  No additional Democratic names have been sent to the Senate.

Customarily, the Senate advances postal-related nominees in bipartisan pairs following Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs vetting, interviews, hearings and committee passage of the nominations before the full senate votes on them. NALC is closely monitoring these unknown nominees and will actively work to ensure they have the best interests of the employees and the network before they are confirmed.
