Fmr. U.S. Amb. to Ukraine who quit over Trump policies 'Seriously thinking about a run for Congress' - Velshi - MSNBC
Longtime senior diplomat Bridget Brink was the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine until recently when she resigned over this administration’s foreign policy.
Putin is “just stringing Trump and the rest of us along,” says Brink, who is now “seriously thinking about” a run for Congress, continuing a life of public service. “Are we going to stand by and watch this happen [in Ukraine], or are we going to stand up and stop the bully? And I think it's as simple as that.” - Aired on 06/07/2025.

And I don't know where the former ambassador is considering running, but I have a suggestion - we sure could use her in NY-21 since we're stuck with national embarrassment Stefanik - again.
