Background and record
Background. He represents eastern Nebraska (Lincoln, Norfolk, Columbus).
Role in Congress. Mike Flood is a Republican (since 2022), a former Nebraska state senator and former Speaker of the Nebraska Legislature (the only legislative leadership role in Nebraska's unicameral legislature), former media company owner (Flood Communications), and a University of Notre Dame and Mitchell Hamline School of Law graduate. He sits on House Energy and Commerce.
Position on Ukraine. Flood has voted yes on every Ukraine aid package.
Strategic Read. Frame asks in terms of Energy and Commerce Committee jurisdiction over US energy alternatives to Russian gas, his former Speaker of the Nebraska Legislature institutional credibility on bipartisan coalition building, the Lincoln area Polish American and Eastern European immigrant constituency, the Nebraska agricultural constituency's stake in stable Black Sea grain markets, and his moderate Republican coalition building potential.
Ukraine Record
- Voting record on Ukraine bills: 100.0% pro-Ukraine (25 pro, 0 anti, on 25 clean votes)
- Mixed; has voted for some Ukraine packages and against others, generally tracking GOP leadership.
- No headline Ukraine presence.
- Not a Ukraine Caucus member but open to engagement.
Advocacy Playbook
- The Ask: Support the REPO Act (H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine, and the LNG Potential Act (H.R. 1949), expanding U.S. natural gas exports.
- Why It Works: Nebraska agriculture and energy exports are district interests. "Russia pays" and "American farmers benefit" both work.
- Local Connection: If you are in Lincoln or eastern Nebraska, tell him Nebraska's farming families are affected by global grain markets, and the Eastern European diaspora in Lincoln counts on his voice.
- Avoid: Abstract moral arguments. Lead with agriculture, energy, and American interests.
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.
