A Strong Voice for Ukraine
Congressman Lawler has been one of the most outspoken Republican supporters of Ukraine’s defense and sovereignty. At times when support for Ukraine has faced political challenges, he has shown a willingness to break with his own party in order to defend democratic principles and international stability.
Lawler has stated unequivocally that “Vladimir Putin is a vile dictator and thug,” and has repeatedly emphasized that the United States cannot allow Russia’s war of aggression to succeed.
In Congress, he has backed this commitment with legislative action. Congressman Lawler introduced the bipartisan Defending Borders, Defending Democracies Act, a proposal that paired strengthening security at the U.S. southern border with defense funding for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
He also co-led a discharge petition alongside Jared Golden and Brian Fitzpatrick to force a House vote on Ukraine aid, demonstrating his willingness to build bipartisan coalitions in support of democratic allies.
Most recently, Congressman Lawler co-sponsored the Peace Through Strength Against Russia Act of 2025, a sweeping bipartisan sanctions package designed to hold Russia accountable for war crimes and impose serious economic consequences for continued aggression.
Supporting Leadership That Stands for Democracy
Events like this reception provide an opportunity for supporters to recognize leaders who have demonstrated principled commitment to defending freedom and democratic values.
Congressman Lawler’s consistent support for Ukraine and his willingness to work across party lines have made him a key voice in the ongoing effort to ensure that the United States remains firmly committed to the defense of democratic allies.
