Background and record
Background. Bob Latta is a senior Ohio Republican (since 2007), the son of former Rep. Delbert Latta (1959-1989), former Ohio state senator and assemblyman, and a Bowling Green State and Ohio Northern University Law graduate. He represents northwestern Ohio (Bowling Green, Findlay, the Sandusky Bay area).
Role in Congress. He sits on House Energy and Commerce as a senior Republican.
Position on Ukraine. Latta 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 decades long institutionalist credibility on bipartisan Russia deterrence policy continuity, his father's institutional legacy on bipartisan foreign policy continuity, the northwestern Ohio agricultural and manufacturing constituency's stake in stable global trade, and his pragmatic conservative Republican coalition building credentials.
Ukraine Record
- Voting record on Ukraine bills: 97.5% pro-Ukraine (39 pro, 1 anti, on 40 clean votes)
- Voted for Ukraine aid in earlier packages
- Energy and Commerce role on Russian energy bills
Advocacy Playbook
- The Ask: Use his Energy and Commerce seat to push the LNG Potential Act (H.R. 1949), which expands U.S. natural gas exports to reduce Europe's Russian energy dependence, and Russian gas restrictions
- Why It Works: American energy replacing Russian supply in Europe is his lane, and Ohio natural gas and manufacturing jobs come with it
- Local Connection: You live in northwest Ohio, work in agriculture or industry, or are part of the Toledo area Ukrainian American community
- Avoid: Overlooking his seniority. Use him to drive committee votes, not just cosponsorship
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.
