A bill to designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 505 East 9th Avenue in Amarillo, Texas, as the "Mayor Jerry H. Hodge Post Office Building".
This bill would designate a United States Postal Service facility located at 505 East 9th Avenue in Amarillo, Texas, as the “Mayor Jerry H. Hodge Post Office Building.” In practical terms, the change is ceremonial: the post office at that address would be officially named after Mayor Jerry H. Hodge, and any references to the facility in federal laws, maps, regulations, or other official documents would need to use the new name. The legislation does not create or authorize any new programs, funding, or changes to postal operations. The bill was introduced in the Senate by Senator Ted Cruz (with Senator John Cornyn joining as a sponsor) on July 23, 2025, and referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. If enacted, the designation would take effect upon enactment, with implementation handled by the USPS and relevant federal agencies.
