There have been earlier attempts by a small minority of the House Democrats in October of 2022 to direct the US policy towards peace negotiations with Russia instead of supporting continued Ukrainian resistance against the Russian invasion. The reasons given were stated somewhat briefly and somewhat cryptically, referring vaguely to the financial aspects of the aid to Ukraine, as well as to reducing "harm" to Ukrainian people.
The original letter was retracted shortly afterwards. According to the press, at least some of the original signatories did not change their point of view even after the retraction. So we cannot exclude the possibility of the repeated calls of the same nature in the future.
I could not find any official statement on this topic by the original signatories since then. The original signatories did not show any evidence of a change of their views since then - they simply stopped making (much of) any official statements on the issue.
For example, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had not condemned any of the multiple Russian atrocities and war crimes committed since the time of her signing the "peace" letter. But neither did she call for negotiations with Russia since then. This is my impression from casually reviewing her X/Twitter posts.

But as legislators responsible for the expenditure of tens of billions of US taxpayer dollars in military assistance in the conflict, we believe such involvement in this war also creates a responsibility for the United States to seriously explore all possible avenues, including direct engagement with Russia, to reduce harm and support Ukraine in achieving a peaceful settlement.

In conclusion, we urge you to make vigorous diplomatic efforts in support of a negotiated settlement and ceasefire, engage in direct talks with Russia, explore prospects for a new European security arrangement acceptable to all parties, which will allow for a sovereign and independent Ukraine, and, in coordination with our Ukrainian partners, seek a rapid end to the conflict and reiterate this goal as America’s chief priority.
