About

Elected: 2009 (9th term)

  • Background: Former California Lieutenant Governor and U.S. Deputy Interior Secretary
  • Committees: Armed Services; Transportation
  • District: Northern California, CA

Bio Serves on the Armed Services Committee, which writes the annual defense policy bill. He has a consistent pro-aid voting record, and his past role at Interior makes him receptive to energy-security arguments.

Ukraine Record

  • Congressional Ukraine Caucus member
  • Voted YES on Ukraine aid bills

Advocacy Insight

  • Ask them to: Use his Armed Services seat to lock Ukraine provisions into the 2027 fiscal year annual defense policy bill, and sign onto the REPO Act (H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine, and the Sanctioning Russia Act (H.R. 2548 / S. 1241)
  • Why it works with them: He understands energy security and views Ukraine aid as protecting U.S. strategic interests
  • Your connection: Northern California voters want strong alliances and reliable energy policy
  • Avoid: Assuming he needs to be persuaded; he is a reliable yes and needs to be asked to act, not convinced

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.
