May 22, 2025

WASHINGTON — Representative Dale W. Strong (AL-05) issued the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to advance President Trump’s America First Agenda.  

“This is not just legislation, it’s a promise kept to the American people. It’s pro-worker, pro-family, pro-growth—and it’s exactly what our country needs right now,” said Rep. Strong. “I’m proud to support President Trump’s promise to deliver historic tax relief and put money back in the pockets of American families, secure our southern border, strengthen our national security, and right-size wasteful government spending.” 

Specifically, the bill: 

  • Saves families in Alabama’s Fifth Congressional District $1,656 on average 

  • Makes 2017 Trump Tax Cuts permanent - protecting taxpayers from a 22% tax hike 

  • Secures and expands the doubled Child Tax Credit, benefiting nearly 90,000 hardworking North Alabama families 

  • Provides resources to complete and construct over 2,300 miles of border wall 

  • Secures historic investments in our national security with $25 billion for President Trump’s Golden Dome and $21 billion to restock America’s arsenal 

  • Restores integrity to taxpayer-funded programs by ensuring federal funds only go to the most vulnerable and needy - as originally intended - not to those who are ineligible or illegally present in our country 

  • Makes Rural America & Main Street Grow Again by expanding the 199A deduction to 23% - creating 1 million new jobs annually and generating $750 billion in economic growth 

  • Renews 100% immediate Research and Development expensing, fueling the cutting-edge innovation driven by North Alabama
