About
Elected: 2010 (8th term)
- Background: Harvard and Oxford educated attorney; former securities lawyer; the only Alabama Democrat in Congress and the state's first Black congresswoman.
- Committees: Ways and Means (senior); formerly on Intelligence Committee
- District: The Alabama Black Belt, Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Selma, and Montgomery; historic civil rights corridor, majority-minority district.
Bio Terri Sewell is a senior House Democrat whose Ways and Means seat gives her direct influence over sanctions and trade enforcement. As the only Alabama Democrat, she carries an outsized statewide voice and has been reliable on foreign policy and civil rights.
Ukraine Record
- Has voted for Ukraine aid in every recent bill.
- Generally supportive of sanctions enforcement and frozen-asset legislation.
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Use her Ways and Means seat to push the Laundered Russian Oil Act (H.R. 7095) forward and sign onto the REPO Act (S. 2918 / H.R. 5835).
- Why it works with them: Civil rights parallels to Ukrainian self-determination. War crimes accountability fits her international human rights tradition.
- Your connection: If you live in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa, Selma, or Montgomery and belong to a faith or civil rights community, say you want her voice amplifying Ukraine across Alabama.
- Avoid: Treating her as a backbencher. She is senior and carries weight.
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.
