About
Elected: 2016 (5th term)
- Background: Army combat veteran and double amputee (lost both legs to an IED in Afghanistan)
- Committees: Chair, House Foreign Affairs Committee
- District: Florida's Treasure Coast, FL
- Ukrainian American community: Florida (Tampa, Orlando, South Florida) has a large community that should be organized for coordinated pressure
Bio Brian Mast chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, so every major Ukraine foreign policy bill runs through his committee. He is a combat veteran who lost both legs in Afghanistan, which gives him exceptional credibility on military matters. He has been cautious on Ukraine aid, but his veteran background makes him uniquely persuadable on veteran solidarity and military-strategic arguments.
Ukraine Record
- Cautious on Ukraine aid, aligned with Republican leadership
- As chair, controls committee votes on H.R. 2913, H.R. 2548, H.R. 5797, H.R. 7094, H.R. 7095, H.R. 7506, H.R. 5835, H.R. 4346, H.R. 947, H.Res. 16, H.Res. 155, and H.Res. 564
- Nearly every major UAPortal foreign policy bill runs through him
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Schedule committee votes on the Ukraine Support Act (H.R. 2913), a broad military aid package, and the Sanctioning Russia Act (H.R. 2548), and move the REPO Act (H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine, to committee
- Why it works with them: Veteran-to-veteran solidarity. Ukrainian amputee veterans, battlefield medical cooperation, and lessons from combat speak to his personal experience.
- Your connection: Florida Ukrainian community (Tampa, Orlando, South Florida). If you are a veteran, lead with that.
- Avoid: Leading with humanitarian framing. He responds to military strategy and veteran solidarity, not charity appeals.
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.
Read this script naturally. It is a guide, not a word-for-word requirement. Staffers appreciate callers who sound like constituents, not robots.
