Our country is made safer by the commitment of the men and women of Alabama that faithfully serve the military community,” said Congressman Strong.
Representative Strong looks forward to supporting our nation’s warfighter and Alabama’s military-connected community.
“I am thankful for the confidence placed in me by my constituents and Chairman Mike Rogers. I look forward to continuing to showcase Alabama’s innovation and ingenuity through my role on this committee,” says Congressman Strong.

“I’m thrilled that the Steering Committee has recommended Rep. Dale Strong to serve on the House Armed Services Committee,” Chairman Mike Rogers said. “Alabama’s Fifth Congressional District is foundational to Alabama’s continued leadership in the defense of our nation. Rep. Strong will be a critical voice on our committee. I look forward to the House Republican Conference ratifying the Steering Committee’s recommendation.”
