Bio Gil Cisneros is a returning House Democrat who previously served in CA-39 before losing reelection in 2020, then won CA-31 in 2024. He served as the Pentagon's top personnel official under Biden, giving him rare defense policy depth for a junior member.
Ukraine Record
- Voted yes on all major Ukraine aid packages during his first term.
- As a former Pentagon official under Biden, he understands Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (the U.S. program that supplies weapons to Ukraine) operations intimately.
- Expected to be a quiet but effective defense policy voice.
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Use his Armed Services seat to protect the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative funding pipeline, and sign onto the REPO Act (H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine.
- Чому це з ними спрацює: He knows how Ukraine aid actually flows at the Pentagon. Specific, practical asks about funding pipelines work better than moral appeals.
- Your connection: If you are in the eastern San Gabriel Valley, tell him Ukrainian families in Southern California are counting on his defense experience.
- Avoid: Basic briefings. He already knows more than most members.
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.
