Headline Summary

Rename a Cleveland post office to honor Technical Sergeant Alma Gladys Minter.

What It Does

The bill designates the United States Postal Service facility at 890 East 152nd Street in Cleveland, Ohio, as the “Technical Sergeant Alma Gladys Minter Post Office Building.” It also instructs that all federal references—like maps, regulations, and official records—use the new name.

Who’s For It

• Sponsor: Rep. Shontel Brown (D–OH), joined by a bipartisan group of Ohio members including Reps. Balderson, Beatty, Carey, Davidson, Jordan, Joyce, Kaptur, Landsman, Latta, Sykes, Taylor, Turner, and Rulli.
• Additional co-sponsors from other states include Reps. Gwen Moore (D–WI), André Carson (D–IN), Shomari Figures (D–AL), and Deborah Ross (D–NC).
• Supporters frame it as a straightforward recognition of military service and local contributions in Cleveland.

Who’s Against It

• No specific opponents are noted in the bill record provided.
• If objections arise, they typically focus on Congress’s use of time for commemorative namings rather than disagreement about the honoree.

What’s Next

• Status: Introduced July 23, 2025; referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform; the committee held a markup on December 2, 2025.
• Next steps: If reported favorably, the bill would go to a House floor vote, then to the Senate. If both chambers pass it, it would go to the President for signature.
