- Committees: Chair, Senate Intelligence Committee (119th); Armed Services; Judiciary
- State: Small Arkansas Ukrainian community
Bio Tom Cotton has a long record as a Russia hawk and voted for Ukraine aid bills through 2023. He has since grown more cautious about open-ended commitments, aligning with the Trump administration's position.
Ukraine Record
- Voted YES on earlier Ukraine aid through 2023
- Not currently signed onto UAPortal bills
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Sign onto the SHADOW Fleet Sanctions (S. 2904), which targets Russia's oil tanker network used to evade sanctions, and use his position as Intelligence Committee Chair to hold oversight hearings on Russia's sanctions evasion.
- Why it works with them: Hard-power Russia threat framing and the China-Russia axis. The shadow fleet sanctions mirror the Iran sanctions he championed.
- Your connection: Thank him for his combat service in Iraq and Afghanistan, and mention Arkansas's small but engaged Ukrainian American community.
- Avoid: Humanitarian arguments. Lead with national security and the China-Russia connection.
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.
