Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Votes for Comprehensive Sanctions Targeting Russia

U.S. Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez voted in favor of the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026. The comprehensive package targets Russia's operations by imposing sanctions on specific Russian officials, including Vladimir Putin and senior political and military leaders. Targets also include oligarchs who benefit from ties to the Russian government, major Russian energy projects, and Russia's 'shadow fleet.' The bill also targets the Central Bank of Russia, Sberbank, VTB Bank, and Gazprombank.

The sanctions package aims to cripple funding for Russia’s war in Ukraine by penalizing countries that buy Russian oil. The measures affect international financial institutions and trade networks involved with Russia. The package includes sanctions against foreign companies that support Russia's defense industrial base.
