Dale Strong — Republican Candidate for U.S. House in Alabama, 2026

Dale Strong voted for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, requiring citizenship documentation to register to vote and removing non-citizens from voter rolls. He introduced the Deport Illegal Voters Act to expedite the deportation of non-citizens convicted of illegal voting, asserting that only American citizens should participate in elections. Strong also supports funding for Department of Homeland Security border security initiatives, including a border wall and personnel. He received an A+ rating from NumbersUSA, an anti-illegal immigration advocacy organization.

““The Biden-Harris Administration’s disastrous border policies have allowed over 10 million illegal aliens to pour across our border. American citizens should be the only ones that determine our elections,” said Congressman Dale W. Strong (strong.house.gov).”

Dale Strong supported a Republican healthcare measure aimed at reducing health insurance costs for American citizens. He voted for this bill, which seeks to expand access to association health plans for small businesses, enhance transparency for pharmacy benefit managers, and appropriate funds for cost-sharing reduction payments. Strong's reasoning is to reduce what people pay for insurance, believing that the bill will redirect money back to the American people rather than insurance companies.

““I’m supportive because I’m ready to see what we can do to reduce what the American people are paying for health insurance,” Rep. Dale Strong, R-Huntsville, told Alabama Daily News.”

Dale Strong received a 0% score from the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) for both his 2024 and lifetime congressional voting records. This indicates that, according to the LCV, Strong's legislative actions do not support environmental protection measures or policies aligned with addressing climate change and advancing clean energy.

Dale Strong voted in favor of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (HB21) in 2025. This act seeks to amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit health care practitioners from failing to provide proper care to a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion. His voting record indicates opposition to abortion rights.

Research pending more substantial sources.

““Passing this clean continuing resolution is about keeping the government working for the American people. This temporary measure will ensure our government stays open and allow time for Congress to complete full-year appropriations the right way – through regular order and with fiscal responsibility at the forefront.” - Dale W. Strong, strong.house.gov press release, regarding H.R. 5371, the Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026.”

Dale Strong advocates for returning education decision-making authority to states and parents, believing that local control fosters innovative and flexible approaches tailored to children's needs. He supported the Flexibility for Workers Education Act and was instrumental in bringing Alabama education officials to a House Appropriations panel to highlight state-level literacy improvements. His stance emphasizes parental rights and local determination in education matters.

“I remain committed to standing up for the rights of parents and the important role they play in their children’s education. Education is not a one-size-fits-all. Decisions related to education are best made at the state and local level - and with parents - who know their children best. Returning control of education to the states will allow for more innovative and flexible approaches to better meet the unique needs of our children. I support President Trump’s efforts to return decision-making power to the states and parents and restore local control over education. - Dale Strong, strong.house.gov/issues/education”

“Mr. Speaker, as vice chair of the Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, I rise in strong support of this legislation. Mr. Speaker, our Republic is alive and well. This bill refocuses Washington's spending. It cuts waste, restores accountability, and delivers on President Trump's agenda. It cracks down on fentanyl and foreign adversaries, defends American values and principles, and ensures that taxpayer dollars are spent on public safety and national security, not bloated bureaucracy. It provides strong support for State and local law enforcement partnerships, and it defends the Second Amendment and America's right to bear arms. Republicans are working to advance regular order and deliver results for the American people--reliable and affordable energy, [...] This legislation returns the FBI to its core mission and ensures that our dedicated FBI agents are back in the field and out of the beltway. There is no better place to achieve this than the FBI Redstone in Huntsville, Alabama. We are making America safe and secure again. This is a responsible bill that supports law enforcement, strengthens national security, and puts America first. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Cole, Ranking Member DeLauro, and Chairman Rogers for their steady leadership throughout this process, and I thank the subcommittee staff for their hard work on this legislation. Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to support this bill. Our time is now. - Dale Strong (House Floor, January 8, 2026, as reported by moderatepoliticians.com)”
