About
Elected: 1996 (15th term)
- Committees: Armed Services (Ranking Member)
- District: Southern Seattle metro, WA
Bio Top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee and the lead Democratic voice on military aid policy. He has led the charge for Ukraine provisions in the annual defense policy bill throughout the war and effectively counters isolationist arguments on military aid.
Ukraine Record
- Congressional Ukraine Caucus member
- Voted YES on every Ukraine aid bill
- Top Democrat on Armed Services
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Use his position as top Democrat on Armed Services to force Ukraine provisions into the 2027 fiscal year annual defense policy bill and block isolationist amendments, and sign onto the REPO Act (H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine
- Why it works with them: Military aid, defense industrial base, and alliance credibility are his committee's core work
- Your connection: Seattle metro voters want strong defense leadership against isolationism
- Avoid: Underestimating his reach; partner with Senator Reed on coordinated Democratic defense strategy

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.
