About

Elected: 2020 (first term; former House Assistant Speaker)

  • Background: Former House Democratic leadership
  • Committees: Commerce, Energy and Natural Resources, HELP, Indian Affairs
  • State: Small Ukrainian community; Los Alamos and Sandia labs provide dual-use technology angle

Bio Ben Ray Luján is a steady Democratic ally. His Commerce seat covers export controls, and his Energy seat ties him to LNG export authorization.

Ukraine Record

  • Voted YES on every Ukraine aid package
  • Not currently a primary UAPortal author

Advocacy Insight

  • Ask them to: Sign onto the Sanctioning Russia Act (S. 1241), the SHADOW Fleet Sanctions (S. 2904), and the REPO Act (S. 2918), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine.
  • Why it works with them: He can advance a Senate companion to the LNG Potential Act (H.R. 1949) through his Energy Committee seat. His work with New Mexico colleague Martin Heinrich also gives him team leverage on Intelligence oversight.
  • Your connection: Mention New Mexico's defense industry stake at Sandia and Los Alamos National Labs.
  • Avoid: Treating him as undecided. Give him specific sign-on targets.

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.

Call Script
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.
