Ukraine Record
- No voting record yet; expected to vote yes on mainstream Democratic Ukraine positions.
- No known Ukraine-specific statements or caucus membership.
- Her immigration focus suggests she will be receptive to TPS extension asks.
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Sign onto the Ukrainian Adjustment Act (H.R. 3104), which protects Ukrainians in the U.S. from deportation, and vote yes on any Ukraine aid bill.
- Why it works with them: Her focus on immigrant communities and family stability makes the TPS extension a natural fit.
- Your connection: If you are in the northeast San Fernando Valley, tell her Ukrainian families in Los Angeles live with the same uncertainty as other refugee communities she has championed.
- Avoid: Heavy military framing. Keep it about people, families, and refugee protection.
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.
