- No known Ukraine-specific statements.
- Not a Ukraine Caucus member.
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Vote yes on any Ukraine aid bill, sign onto the Ukrainian Adjustment Act (H.R. 3104), and use his Financial Services seat to support the REPO Act (H.R. 5835).
- Why it works with them: As a civil rights-tradition Democrat, the democracy and self-determination framing lands. His Financial Services seat makes the frozen-assets argument natural.
- Your connection: If you are in Baton Rouge or Shreveport, tell him Louisiana's Ukrainian families need a reliable voice and the civil rights tradition stands with Ukraine against authoritarianism.
- Avoid: Don't assume he is already engaged on this issue. Introduce the Ukrainian community ask clearly.
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.
Read this script naturally. It is a guide, not a word-for-word requirement. Staffers appreciate callers who sound like constituents, not robots.
