Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Use his Energy and Commerce seat to advance the LNG Potential Act (H.R. 1949), expanding U.S. natural gas exports to reduce Europe's Russian energy dependence, and sign onto the bill designating Russia a State Sponsor of Terrorism (S. 2978 / H.R. 5797) and the Sanctioning Russia Act (H.R. 2548 / S. 1241)
- Why it works with them: Russian attacks on Ukrainian Orthodox churches and Greek Orthodox solidarity are his strongest motivators
- Your connection: Tampa's Ukrainian and Greek Orthodox communities share faith and history against Moscow's church takeover
- Avoid: Secular-only framing; his Orthodox identity is the unlock
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.
