STATEMENT: Rep. Min on His Vote for the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Dave Min (CA-47) issued the following statement on his vote for the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026:

"I voted in favor of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 because this legislation is an unequivocal condemnation of Vladimir Putin's illegal war with Ukraine.

To be clear, like so many of the bills Republicans have pushed forward over the past 20 months, this legislation is flawed. While I understand the concerns that some of my colleagues have with certain aspects of this bill, I believe Congress must do all that we can to help Ukraine and stop Russian aggression, and this bill does just that, by imposing harsh economic sanctions on Russia and those who continue to do business with Russia.

Trump is the most lawless President in history, breaking laws and violating the Constitution in unprecedented ways. But I do not believe his lawlessness should prevent us from going after bad actors or helping our allies. Right now,Ukraine is at a critical juncture in its fight for freedom, and this legislation has the potential to end this war and give Ukraine the peace it has long sought."
