U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz is the first and only Ukrainian-born member of Congress
Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., speaks during a Northern Hamilton County GOP Meeting, Monday, April 22, 2024, in Sheridan, Ind. Spartz, the first and only Ukrainian-born member of Congress who emerged as a natural voice for Ukraine, recently voted against sending $61 billion of aid to the country. Her reversal aligns with other hard-right Republicans in the House.
The aid package, part of a larger bill that also included assistance for Israel, Taiwan and other global hot spots, was approved by the House on April 20, the Senate on Tuesday and signed into law by PresidentSpartz said she is “kind of appalled” at the notion that her heritage should dictate support for the Ukrainian cause if she feels the money would be wasted.Spartz spoke at an event hosted by the Hamilton County GOP at a community center in Sheridan, Indiana, a town of a few thousand people.
For an entire year, that left the runway clear for candidates to campaign in one of most conservative districts in the state, composed of a mix of rural and suburban counties north of Indianapolis. Trump easily took the district in 2020, and it was redistricted to further favor Republicans that same year.
Trump has not made an endorsement in the 5th district this year. He's been ambivalent about aid to Ukraine, saying the war would not have happened if he had been president and that any support should take the form of loans rather than grants.
