I am writing as your constituent to urge your support for the End Russian Oil Windfalls Act (H.R. 8222), legislation I believe is critical to reinforcing America's commitment to international security and accountability.
The United States must take stronger action to cut off the financial flows that continue to fund Russia's war efforts. H.R. 8222 would do exactly that — by terminating existing U.S. licenses that currently permit limited transactions involving Russian oil and by imposing stronger sanctions on Russian oil companies.
These loopholes are not a minor oversight. They represent an ongoing revenue stream that enables continued Russian aggression. Closing them sends a clear, unambiguous message that the United States will not allow financial arrangements to undermine our foreign policy objectives or the security of our allies.
I respectfully urge you to support H.R. 8222 and take meaningful action to strengthen sanctions on Russian energy exports. Your constituents are watching, and I am confident you understand the urgency this moment demands.
Thank you for your time and your service.
