Ukraine Record
- No record yet, first term
- Expected to vote for Ukraine aid based on party alignment
- No current bill sign-ons
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Sign onto the REPO Act (H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine, and the Ukrainian Adjustment Act (H.R. 3104), which protects Ukrainians in the U.S. from deportation
- Why it works with them: Democracy defense, making Russia pay, human rights, and accountability land in swing districts without triggering fiscal pushback
- Your connection: You live in a swing district in suburban Portland or central Oregon and want a strong but fiscally responsible voice
- Avoid: Assuming progressive aid skepticism. She is suburban and pragmatic
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.
