Ukraine Record
- Co-Chair, Congressional Ukraine Caucus
- Author of the Freedom First Lend-Lease Act (H.R. 1158), which lets the U.S. loan weapons to Ukraine
- Co-author of the REPO Act (S. 2918 / H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine
- Voted YES on every Ukraine aid bill
- Has traveled to Kyiv multiple times with bipartisan delegations
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Rally fellow Republicans to sign Discharge Petition 8 and move the Freedom First Lend-Lease Act out of committee
- Why it works with them: He sees lend-lease as a cost-effective way to stop Russia, the same strategy Reagan used in the Cold War. He responds to military strategy, not emotional appeals
- Your connection: If you live near Fort Jackson, Shaw Air Force Base, or Charleston Air Force Base, mention it. He represents a heavy military community
- Avoid: Leading with humanitarian arguments. Talk about strategy, deterrence, and keeping American troops out of future wars by helping Ukraine win now
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.
