Occurrences
Our delegation has staunchly supported Ukraine and are determined to provide tangible assistance as well as enforceable sanctions against Putin’s war machine. We recognize the Senate’s hard work and applaud Senator Blumenthal and his colleagues for their efforts. Due to our concerns, we could not vote for this bill in its current form and remain committed to continuing to stand unwaveringly with the Ukrainian people and enacting tough sanctions that hold the Putin regime accountable. The Senate bill falls short of those goals, and we believe it is time to redouble efforts to pass the original House bill.
Hayes and the Connecticut House delegation said they remain committed to supporting Ukraine and enacting tough Russia sanctions, and called for redoubled efforts to pass the original House bill.

The Senate should take up the Ukraine Support Act now
Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): Hayes joined Connecticut's House delegation in renewing the demand for Senate consideration of the original House Ukraine Support Act after Trump waived the alternative law's sanctions. This documents additional advocacy during the lookback window, while passage remains unresolved.
I am hereby waiving the application of such sanctions, restrictions, and duties provided for in the Graham Act.
Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): Executive Order 14436 waived the alternative Graham Act's new tariffs and broad sanctions provisions before the October implementation deadline. The waivers have no fixed expiration, while preexisting executive-order sanctions remain unaffected. This documents an implementation setback for the alternative law, leaving Hayes's commitment to the original House bill unresolved.
Public state: pendingAs of 2026-10-23 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved.unknownA for effort
The verified commitment and renewed call for Senate consideration document advocacy, supporting an effort badge. Verified passages do not establish enactment of the original House bill or a partial policy outcome materially attributable to Hayes. The Graham Act sanctions waiver does not demonstrate fulfillment. No commitment-specific deadline is documented, so lack of proven delivery does not warrant never as of October 23, 2026.
