About

  • Elected: 2013 (7th term)

  • Background: Physician

  • District: District 6, Sacramento suburbs

  • Ukrainian American community: Growing Sacramento community from Uniting for Ukraine resettlement

  • District partisan lean (Cook PVI): D+14

  • 2024 House result: Ami Bera (DEM) 57.6% vs Christine Bish (REP) 42.4%, margin +15.2 pp

Background and record

Background. Ami Bera is a Sacramento area physician (internal medicine, former UC Davis Medical School associate dean) and the longest serving Indian American in Congress (since 2013).

Role in Congress. He is the ranking Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Indo Pacific subcommittee and sits on Science, Space, and Technology.

Position on Ukraine. Bera's medical background gives him precision on humanitarian aid policy and global pandemic response, while his Indo Pacific Foreign Affairs role makes him a leader on the China Russia coordination question that matters increasingly for Ukraine policy. He has been a consistent Ukraine voice and has visited Kyiv during the war.

Strategic Read. As a medical doctor and son of Indian immigrants, he frames Russia Ukraine in terms of medical humanitarian protection plus immigrant experience democracy values. Frame asks in terms of Indo Pacific subcommittee jurisdiction over Russia China coordination, medical humanitarian framing on Ukrainian war casualties, and Sacramento area Asian American immigrant coalition.

Ukraine Record

  • Voting record on Ukraine bills: 100.0% pro-Ukraine (36 pro, 0 anti, on 36 clean votes)
  • Congressional Ukraine Caucus member
  • Voted YES on Ukraine aid bills
  • Serves on the Foreign Affairs Committee, which votes on UAPortal bills

Advocacy Playbook

  • The Ask: HR 8219 BLOCK PUTIN Act. Comprehensive measures to block Russian financial flows. Newly introduced April 2026.
  • Why It Works: As a doctor, he responds to medical evidence of Russian war crimes and the abduction of Ukrainian children
  • Local Connection: Sacramento's Ukrainian refugee families resettled under Uniting for Ukraine need his voice
  • Avoid: Starting with partisan framing; he is a pragmatist

Without this bill, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war and built lives in the U.S. face deportation back to an active war zone. This is the single most urgent protection for Ukrainians in America.

    Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP].
    
    I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025.
    
    Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled Russia's invasion and are now living in the U.S. on temporary status. They cannot safely return to an active war zone. H.R. 3104 gives them a path to permanent residency. It's bipartisan, it's targeted, and it's the right thing to do.
    
    Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 3104?
    
    Thank you.
