Ukraine Voting Record
Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022
Emergency supplemental appropriations providing $61B in Ukraine assistance
National Defense Authorization Act with Ukraine security assistance provisions
About
Elected: 2014 (6th term)
- Background: Former 911 dispatcher, former California state senator, Guatemalan immigrant
- Committees: Appropriations; Rules
- District: Inland Empire including Pomona, Ontario, Fontana, Chino
- Ukrainian American community: Present but small in the Inland Empire
- Family / heritage: Guatemalan American, first Central American immigrant woman elected to Congress
Bio Norma Torres is a senior Inland Empire Democrat with Appropriations experience. She has a particular focus on Central America and immigration, but she is a reliable yes on Ukraine aid.
Ukraine Record
- Voted yes on every Ukraine aid package.
- Appropriations seat gives her a direct role in Ukraine funding decisions.
- Not a Ukraine Caucus member but consistently aligned with the Democratic position.
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Use her Appropriations seat to protect Ukraine aid in the next defense funding bill, and sign onto the Ukrainian Adjustment Act (H.R. 3104), which protects Ukrainians in the U.S. from deportation.
- Why it works with them: As an immigrant herself, she understands what it means for families to face uncertain status. The TPS extension ask resonates with her own story.
- Your connection: If you are in the Inland Empire, tell her Ukrainian families in your community face the same uncertainty that drove her own family's journey.
- Avoid: Don't assume she doesn't care. Thank her for past votes and ask for the next specific action.
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.
