About
Elected: 2024 (first full term; sworn in June 2024 via special election to replace Kevin McCarthy)
- Background: Former chief of staff to Kevin McCarthy, former California state assemblyman
- Committees: Budget; Transportation and Infrastructure
- District: Bakersfield, Kern County, parts of the southern Sierra Nevada
- Ukrainian American community: Minimal
- Family / heritage: Asian American Republican
Bio Vince Fong is a Kern County Republican who inherited Kevin McCarthy's seat. He is aligned with the House Republican establishment rather than the Freedom Caucus, but he has tracked with his caucus on Ukraine skepticism.
Ukraine Record
- Mixed; as a new member he has not taken a loud public Ukraine position.
- Likely to vote with GOP leadership on most Ukraine aid bills, which means no unless leadership whips yes.
- Not a Ukraine Caucus member.
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Support the REPO Act (H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine, and back the LNG Potential Act (H.R. 1949), expanding U.S. natural gas exports.
- Why it works with them: American energy exports and making Russia pay for its own damage are Republican-friendly frames. Kern County is an oil-and-gas community.
- Your connection: If you are in Bakersfield, tell him that Kern County's energy workers benefit when America exports more LNG to Europe and replaces Russian gas.
- Avoid: Moral or humanitarian arguments. Keep it about American energy, American taxpayers, and making Russia pay.
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.
