Terri Sewell (AL-07) voted for additional measures to hold Putin accountable for his unprovoked and bloody war in Ukraine and further isolate Russia from the world. A bill to suspend normal trade relations with Russia passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 420 to 3. A measure to ban the importation of Russian oil passed by a vote of 413 to 9. Having passed the Senate unanimously, both of these bills will now make their way to President Biden\u2019s desk to be signed into law.\n\n\u201cAs a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, I worked closely with my colleagues on these two measures which would hold Russia accountable for its unprovoked war in Ukraine and leave it weakened economically, militarily, and diplomatically. I was pleased to see these bills pass with overwhelming support. We must continue to stand with the Ukrainian people as they defend democracy.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:19:30Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://sewell.house.gov/2022/4/rep-sewell-votes-suspend-normal-trade-relations-russia-ban-importation"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7701439317315817, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
