Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Sign onto the REPO Act (S. 2918), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine, the SHADOW Fleet Sanctions (S. 2904), and publicly endorse the Protecting Our Guests Act (S. 696).
- Why it works with them: Food security, grain markets, and fertilizer are her strongest policy areas. Russia disrupts all three, which hits Iowa farmers directly.
- Your connection: Mention Iowa's Polish American community and thank her for her combat service and her multiple trips to Ukraine.
- Avoid: Vague asks. Give her specific bills to sign onto and specific amendments to push.
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.
