Political Mail Seminar



The Postal Service works closely with Supervisors of Election around the nation to ensure political mail is prepared and handled properly.  Pictured at the recent Orange County Supervisor of Elections Annual Candidate Seminar are (left to right) Suncoast District Political Mail Coordinator/Manager, Business Mail Entry Don Dease; USPS Senior Field Sales Representative (FSR) Emory Rothell; USPS Senior Sales Executive Aaron Michael; Orange County Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles; and Orange County Director of Elections Cindy Clark.  Approximately 70 people were in attendance, including current commissioners, elected officials, candidates and representatives. Dease thanked the group for inviting the Postal Service and explained how important the political mail guidelines are to the campaigning process.


USPS Senior Sales Executive Aaron Michael (above) was a featured speaker at the seminar.  He presented information and tips on how to use the Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) and EDDM (Every Door Direct Mail) for successful political campaigns and other business ventures.  Folders with political mailing information was handed out and attendees participated in a question and answer session. The presentation was so successful that the Postal Service has been invited to return during the next election cycle to present again.
