Ceremony Renames Andrew Jackson Post Office - Removing AJ's name/signage considered "problematic"

Ceremony Renames Andrew Jackson Post Office for Susan A. Davis

The unveiled plaque read “This Building Is Named In Honor of Susan A. Davis by an Act of Congress, Public Law 117-314, December 27, 2022.” However, a legend will remain for the foreseeable future in large letters atop the Post Office Building stating: “United States Post Office, Andrew Jackson Station, San Diego, California 92115.” No congressional appropriation has been made to replace the lettering, and according to Davis, such an appropriation is problematic because such legislation would have to incorporate not only this post office branch but other renamed post office branches throughout the nation.
