Renames a post office in Marshfield, Missouri.
Senators Schmitt and Hawley (Republicans, MO).
Introduced in the Senate, no vote yet.
This bill proposes to change the name of the U.S. Post Office located at 203 North Clay Street in Marshfield, Missouri, to the 'Edwin P. Hubble Post Office'. The bill was introduced by Senators Eric Schmitt and Josh Hawley, both Republicans from Missouri. It has only just been introduced and has not yet been voted on by either chamber of Congress.
Introduced Mar 11, 2026
This bill was introduced in the Senate on March 11, 2026. Currently, it has been referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs for review. For it to become law, the committee must approve it, then the full Senate must pass it, followed by the House of Representatives passing an identical version. Finally, the President would need to sign it.
If this bill becomes law, the physical sign on the post office building at 203 North Clay Street in Marshfield, Missouri, would be updated to 'Edwin P. Hubble Post Office'. Any government documents or records referring to that specific post office would also be updated to reflect the new name. For residents, it would primarily be a change in the building's official designation, honoring a historical figure.
Supporters Say
Supporters believe renaming the post office honors Edwin P. Hubble, a notable figure.
Critics Say
Critics might argue renaming a post office is a low priority for Congress.
Typically, bills to rename federal facilities like post offices are non-controversial and pass with broad support, often honoring local heroes or significant historical figures. Any opposition would likely focus on the use of legislative time for such measures rather than the name itself, or perhaps suggest alternative names or people to honor.
