In The Associated Press, Isabella Volmert profiles Spartz and her decision to oppose new Ukraine funding. At one speech in the district, she “made no mention of the war in Ukraine” and instead “framed the stakes of her reelection as a fight against party hypocrisy, saying some of her fellow Republicans act like socialists.”

Some Republicans who backed the aid encountered little resistance from voters, who were far more willing to embrace it — and less interested in ousting the speaker over it — than their right-wing colleagues.

Indiana Republican Victoria Spartz was born and raised in Ukraine but that didn't stop her from opposing the recent aid package for her homeland.
