Today is a monumental day for peace.
This legislation was deeply important to my brother, Lindsey, and I’m grateful that it achieved such a wide coalition of support on the House floor. I am committed to achieving a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine, and I’m confident that this legislation will pave the way.
I sincerely appreciate Rep. McCaul’s leadership and determination in getting this across the finish line. I’m also thankful for the work of my Senate co-leads, Senators Blumenthal, Shaheen, Britt and Wicker. Their support never wavered.
I would also like to thank President Trump and his team for diligently collaborating with Congress on this legislation. This bill assists President Trump in his noble efforts to bring the Russia-Ukraine war to a close and allows President Trump to keep applying strong economic pressure on the Iranian regime.
🚨 I'm proud to announce the House just passed the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 by a vote of 262 to 159 — fulfilling one of Sen. Graham's final wishes.
This bill will cripple the Russian war machine and finally bring Putin to the negotiating table. And it will ensure America’s adversaries — not only Russia, but also China and Iran — suffer for their coordinated campaign of aggression.
262 members the House voted not just for Ukraine, but for freedom and democracy. Today, we are one step closer to securing Lindsey’s vision of enduring peace in Ukraine and beyond.
