Ukraine Record
- No voting record yet on Ukraine aid but expected to vote yes on Democratic positions.
- His aerospace background gives him a natural interest in defense technology and space security, both of which intersect with Ukraine support.
- No known Ukraine-specific statements yet.
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Vote yes on any Ukraine aid bill, and sign onto the REPO Act (H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine.
- Why it works with them: Framing Ukraine as a test of U.S. technology, space security, and satellite defense fits his background. Starlink's role in Ukraine is a natural entry point.
- Your connection: If you are in Santa Clarita or the Antelope Valley, mention the Ukrainian families in your community and the aerospace-Ukraine connections (Starlink, drones, satellite imagery).
- Avoid: Pure humanitarian framings. Lead with the tech and defense industry angle.

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.
