Bio Vicente Gonzalez is a moderate Blue Dog Democrat representing a South Texas border district. He is among the more conservative House Democrats and has occasionally broken with the party on specific issues. He is generally a yes on Ukraine aid but not a headline voice.
Ukraine Record
- Has voted yes on most Ukraine aid packages but has occasionally raised concerns.
- No known Ukraine-specific statements.
- Not a Ukraine Caucus member.
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Vote yes on any Ukraine aid bill, and support the REPO Act (H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine at no cost to U.S. taxpayers.
- Why it works with them: As a moderate who is sensitive to fiscal concerns, the "Russia pays" frame resonates. He is not moved by heavy progressive framing.
- Your connection: If you are in the Rio Grande Valley, tell him South Texas understands what it means when countries abandon their borders, and Ukrainian families in Texas count on his voice.
- Avoid: Progressive language. Lead with fiscal responsibility, border security analogies, 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.
