H.R. 323 Introduced to Honor Officer Anthony Mazurkiewicz
February 8, 2025 – Congressman Joe Morelle (D-NY) has introduced bipartisan legislation to designate the United States Postal Service (USPS) facility in Avon, New York as the “Officer Anthony Mazurkiewicz Memorial Post Office Building” in honor of the fallen police officer.
Officer Mazurkiewicz was tragically killed in the line of duty on July 21, 2022, while responding to a domestic violence call. He served the Avon Police Department with distinction for 17 years and was a beloved member of the community.
The USPS facility located at 80 Prospect Street in Avon is a frequently visited hub for the community and a fitting place to commemorate Officer Mazurkiewicz’s legacy. The designation would serve as a permanent reminder of his sacrifice and service.
“Officer Anthony Mazurkiewicz was a hero who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting our community,” said Congressman Morelle. “By designating the Avon Post Office in his memory, we will ensure that his name and the values he stood for will be forever honored.”
The bill, H.R. 323, has bipartisan support from Congressman Chris Jacobs (R-NY) and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). It was introduced to the House of Representatives on February 6, 2025, and referred to the Committee on Oversight and Reform for consideration.
The family of Officer Mazurkiewicz expressed their gratitude for the proposed legislation. “We are humbled and honored by Congressman Morelle’s efforts to recognize Anthony’s sacrifice,” said his wife, Lori Mazurkiewicz. “This designation will be a meaningful tribute to his life and legacy.”
The Avon community has rallied behind the bill, with local residents and businesses expressing their support. A petition circulating online has garnered over 1,000 signatures in favor of the designation.
If passed by Congress and signed into law by the President, the USPS facility in Avon will be officially renamed the “Officer Anthony Mazurkiewicz Memorial Post Office Building” to serve as a lasting testament to his heroism and the community he served.
