- Background: Populist conservative
- Committees: Foreign Affairs
- District: Knoxville area, TN
Bio Tim Burchett is a populist conservative on Foreign Affairs who is skeptical of expanded Ukraine aid. He aligns with the isolationist wing of his party but is not as hard-line as the Freedom Caucus (conservative House Republicans). His vote on sanctions-only measures is still reachable.
Ukraine Record
- Skeptical of expanded Ukraine aid
- Not as obstructionist as the Freedom Caucus hard line
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Vote yes on sanctions bills and the REPO Act (H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine, framed as measures that cost nothing
- Why it works with them: Seizing Russian assets weakens Russia without spending U.S. money. Fiscal conservatism meets "tough on Russia."
- Your connection: Tennessee Ukrainian community is small, so focus on the taxpayer angle.
- Avoid: Any "aid" framing. Lead with no-cost sanctions.
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.
