Ukraine Record
- Too new to have a sustained voting record.
- Likely to track with House GOP leadership, which has been skeptical of Ukraine aid.
- Not a Ukraine Caucus member.
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Support the REPO Act (H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine at no cost to U.S. taxpayers, and the LNG Potential Act (H.R. 1949), expanding U.S. natural gas exports.
- Why it works with them: American energy and "Russia pays" are the only frames likely to work. The Panhandle has a large military community that understands deterrence.
- Your connection: If you are in Pensacola, tell him the military community understands what it means when America abandons allies, and the Panhandle's Ukrainian families deserve to be heard.
- Avoid: Moral or democracy framings. Lead with energy, deterrence, and "Russia pays."
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.
