About
Elected: 1982 (22nd term, longest-serving woman in House history)
- Background: Urban planner, daughter of Polish and Ukrainian Catholic immigrants
- Committees: Appropriations (top Democrat on the Defense subcommittee)
- District: Toledo and parts of Cleveland including Parma, OH
- Ukrainian American community: Parma is the densest Ukrainian American enclave in the Midwest and the spiritual home of the U.S. diaspora
- Family / heritage: Polish-Ukrainian Catholic heritage is central to her political identity
Bio Marcy Kaptur founded the Congressional Ukraine Caucus decades before Russia's 2022 invasion. She is the most senior and experienced Ukrainian American voice in Congress, and she has made Ukraine a defining issue of her career.
Ukraine Record
- Co-Chair, Congressional Ukraine Caucus (founding member)
- Signed onto the REPO Act (S. 2918 / H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine
- Voted YES on every Ukraine aid bill since 2022
- Has traveled to Kyiv multiple times and organized bipartisan letters holding Russia accountable
- Uses her position on the Appropriations Defense subcommittee to protect funding for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (the U.S. program that supplies weapons to Ukraine)
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Keep leading the House fight for Ukraine aid and use her Appropriations seat to secure weapons funding in the 2027 fiscal year
- Why it works with them: Her Polish-Ukrainian Catholic roots, her lifelong commitment to Midwest working families, and her belief that backing Ukraine keeps NATO credible
- Your connection: If you live in Toledo, Cleveland, or Parma, say so. Her office treats the Ukrainian community in Parma as her direct base
- Avoid: Coming in with a list of demands. Thank her first. She has carried this issue longer than anyone else in Congress
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.
