Strong (AL-05) released the following update on his work for Alabamians as he reaches the end of his first year in Congress:\n\n\u201cIt has been an honor to serve as your representative in Washington. I am proud of the wins our team has achieved for North Alabama.\n\nAs a freshman member of Congress, I was appointed to serve on three committees that are crucial to the people of Alabama's Fifth Congressional District: Armed Services; Homeland Security; and Science, Space & Technology.\n\nAfter two years of Democrat control in Washington, D.C., Americans are paying the price for their failed policies: wasteful government spending, higher energy costs, skyrocketing prices for everyday goods, an overrun Southern border, weakness on the world stage, emboldening our adversaries, and a federal government backed by Biden to be weaponized against his opponents.\n\nI am proud to say that I hit the ground running with my Republican colleagues to fight for America. This year, the House has passed the most conservative border legislation in history, sliced bloated bureaucratic budgets, and prioritized our men and women in uniform.\n\nWhile we are making progress, we are still fighting an administration that refuses to implement these conservative priorities. Moving forward, I promise to continue fighting for our conservative values, commonsense policies to make life better for hardworking Americans, and our national security.\u201d\n\nCONSTITUENT SERVICES\n\n1,001 constituents served through casework with federal agencies, ranging from passports, VA benefits, tax returns, and many other casework issues constituents have had with federal agencies.\n\nOver $2.83 million in constituent benefits secured and returned to AL-05 by my office.\n\n17,899 individual response letters sent to constituents regarding comments sent to my office.\n\n720 visits to local businesses across all five AL-05 counties to hear their comments regarding issues and legislation that impact them.\n\n15 Mobile Office Hour events held in communities across North Alabama, including: Stevenson, Triana, Ardmore, Falkville, and many more. Be on the lookout for Mobile Office Hours near you in 2024.\n\nKEY LEGISLATION INTRODUCED BY REP. STRONG\n\nFINISH IT Act\n\nThe Biden Administration has forced the Department of Defense (DoD) to spend up to $130,000 a day to store and keep from using materials intended for the border wall, which the Biden Admin has refused to build. This bill would require DoD to use the construction materials to secure the southwest border as originally intended or transfer them to border states for that purpose.\n\nProtecting America\u2019s Agricultural Land from Foreign Harm Act\n\nAs of 2020, Chinese ownership of U.S. agricultural land was over $1.8 billion dollars in value. My legislation prevents the purchase or lease of this land by any individual associated with the government of China or other foreign adversaries.\n\nDHS Biodetection Improvement Act\n\nThe anthrax attacks of 2001 opened our eyes to the threat of bioterrorism. Since then, we have worked across all levels of government to improve prevention, detection, and response capabilities, but work still remains. This legislation will ensure the Department of Homeland Security is fully leveraging every tool at its disposal to protect Americans against the threat of bioweapon attacks.\n\nSTRENGTHENING OUR NATIONAL SECURITY & DEFENSE\n\nThe NDAA provides authorization for funding of every aspect of the U.S. military. This year's NDAA ensures that U.S. military readiness remains at the highest level, combats aggression by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), guts the Biden Administration's woke policies & DEI bureaucracy, and increases oversight of U.S. taxpayer dollars to minimize waste.\n\nAs a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I was able to secure several wins for North Alabama in this year's NDAA, including:\n\nHalting further construction of the Space Command\u2019s interim headquarters in Colorado until the completion of two independent reviews into the Biden Administration's unprecedented political reversal of the Air Force's merit-based selection process, which named Redstone Arsenal as the best location for national security.\n\nA 5.2% pay increase for our men and women in uniform, the largest in over 20 years.\n\nThe inclusion of my bill, the FINISH It Act, which will protect our Southern border and cut wasteful government spending by the Biden Administration.\n\nGutting the Biden Administration's DEI bureaucracy in our military.\n\nOver $500 million in funding authorizations for research, development, and the continued improvement of Redstone Arsenal.\n\nMultiple provisions to ensure America remains on the cutting edge of development and maintains dominance over our adversaries.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:14:16Z"], ["https://barrymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-barry-moore-demands-answers-illegally-undisclosed-foreign-gifts-200", "Rep.

The rule, if finalized, would require state child welfare agencies to ensure the availability of \u201csafe and appropriate\u201d placements and services for children in foster care who identify as \u201cLGBTQI[AF1] +\u201d. The new requirement stands to harm faith-based providers as it could mitigate their availability and involvement within the child welfare system.\n\n\u201cThe number of children who need homes continues to grow; yet the number of available foster homes is steadily declining, and the Biden Administration is doing nothing to help with that discrepancy,\u201d said Rep. Aderholt. \u201cIn fact, the rule proposed by HHS does nothing but harm children in foster care and push an extreme agenda. It\u2019s clear the administration cares only about their radical left party, not about American values, families, or children.\u201d\n\n\u201cHere are the facts: we know that America is facing a foster care shortage and that 65% of non-kin foster parents attend religious services weekly,\u201d said Congressman Brecheen. \u201cSo why is the Biden Administration pursuing a dangerous, far-Left agenda that unfairly targets the same faith-based families who are much more likely to open up their homes compared to the general population? We call on Biden\u2019s bureaucrats to rescind this proposed rule, stand up for children who need homes, and end its war against American values.\u201d\n\nThe presumption by HHS is that faith-based providers are incapable of providing safe and loving homes for children who identify as \u201cLGBTQI+\u201d. The inhibition of placement in faith-based foster homes decreases the likelihood of a child finding a home.\n\nFurthermore, the rule would assume that to not affirm a child\u2019s gender identity or sexual orientation is considered \u201cabuse\u201d, a precedent that could have astronomical impacts, both legally and emotionally, on children and parents.\n\nReligious providers serve a crucial role in the child welfare system, and as the letter highlights, \u201cstudies have revealed that 82% of families point to faith-based or church support as a factor for successful fostering\u201d; thus, undermining their involvement in foster care would diminish chances of successful foster placements.\n\nFinally, the letter recognizes the implications of the rule on individual states. The financial and administrative burdens would fall to state agencies that would now be expected to financially support at least half of the initiatives provided by the rule. Further, it diminishes the autonomy of the self-regulation of states and their child welfare systems.\n\n\u201cThe ultimate goal of the child welfare system is to ensure the safety and security of every child,\u201d said Aderholt. \u201cDecreasing the number of opportunities for a child to find a home because of sincerely held religious and moral convictions is harmful and unlawful.

Despite some of his own colleagues standing against him, Coach refuses to budge. And he is right to do so.\n\nBefore this year, service members could not expect the taxpayer to foot the bill for their abortion and travel expenses. But in February, without the constitutionally required approval of Congress, President Biden and Defense Secretary Austin decided service members can have up to three weeks of leave and paid travel expenses for abortions. This flies in the face of the 40-year precedent of the Hyde Amendment, a previously bipartisan supported policy that bars taxpayer-funding for abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening complications.\n\nIf Secretary Austin wants to make laws, he should run for Congress. And until this policy change has been approved by Congress, it is nothing more than a scheme using military members as pawns to skirt the recent overturning of Roe v.

This comprehensive legislation protects adoptive families, children, and expectant mothers from exploitation by unlicensed adoption intermediaries and ensures that adoption providers and attorneys operate only in states where they are licensed to do so.\n\n\u201cAdoption is one of the greatest gifts that can be given to a child. And for a child to find a loving, forever home is truly what every child deserves,\u201d said Congressman Aderholt. \u201cThis is why we must do all we can to make sure adoptions are completed aboveboard, and those willing to give so much, are not taken advantage of in the process. I commend my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for sponsoring this legislation.\u201d\n\n\u201cAs an adoption attorney for 25 years, I worked with countless adoptive parents, expectant mothers, and supportive agencies as they navigated the process. Through my work, I saw firsthand how a lack of regulation and oversight has allowed bad actors and unlicensed intermediaries to take advantage of parents, mothers, and children,\u201d said Congresswoman Kuster. \u201cIt\u2019s past time Congress took action to make adoption safe and secure. I am proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation today to help ensure everyone involved in the adoption process is protected from exploitation by unlicensed or predatory intermediaries.\u201d\n\n\u201cToday we are standing up for vulnerable birth mothers and prospective parents,\u201d said Congressman Lamborn. \u201cUnlicensed \u2018Baby Brokers\u2019 operate outside moral and ethical standards and must face legal ramifications for their actions. We must uplift and promote organizations that provide efficient, caring, and responsible adoption practices.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Academy of Adoption and Assisted Reproduction Attorneys (AAAA) supports legislation requiring licensing and regulation of all those who facilitate adoptions or provide other adoption-related services,\u201dsaid Margaret Swain, President of AAAA. \u201cAdoptive families and children deserve to be served by licensed adoption professionals, with appropriate oversight and transparency. Protecting all parties to an adoption ensures that families seeking to expand their family do not have their hopes exploited and that the guardrails of the legal process are maintained. These safeguards maximize the protection of the child's best interest. The ADOPT Act is an important step toward protecting families and children, and ensuring Americans have high confidence in the adoption process.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis bill will put protections in place for vulnerable women, families, and children impacted by domestic adoption by prohibiting unlicensed adoption intermediaries and promoting local, on-the-ground support for parents considering adoption,\u201d said Ethical Family Building. \u201cThe ADOPT Act will send a clear message that the commodification of pregnant women and children, and the exploitation of families hoping to adopt, will not be tolerated.\u201d\n\n\u201cThis bill name says it all: adoption deserves oversight, protections, and transparency. This bipartisan legislation provides safeguards and protections for all the parties involved with an adoption, most especially for the expectant parents considering adoption,\u201d said Ryan Hanlon, the president and CEO of National Council For Adoption. \u201cBy eliminating the online, for-profit brokers, it will also reduce the cost of adoption and ensure that the service providers involved are licensed and overseen by proper authorities.\u201d\n\nThe ADOPT Act protects adoptive families, children, and expectant mothers from exploitation by:\n\nProhibiting adoption advertising and the provision of private adoption services for compensation by any entity not licensed as a child-placing agency or attorney; and\n\nRestricting payments to expectant mothers unless made through a provider licensed in the state where the expectant mother resides.\n\nFull text can be read here.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T01:01:09Z"], ["https://barrymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-barry-moore-condemns-support-terrorist-organizations-college-campuses", "Rep.

Palmer. \u201cWe don\u2019t need a person or a personality, we need a plan. That is what I can bring to the American people as Speaker of the House. My plan to bring stability back to the House consists of five commonsense points.\u201d\n\nPalmer\u2019s Principles:\n\n1. Fund the government on time with all single subject appropriations bills passing the House by June 30th\n\n2. Real spending cuts, NOT budget gimmicks\n\n3. No short term CRs\n\n4. Enforce a true 72-hour rule allowing members and the American people time to review legislation\n\n5. Unite the Republican Conference before going to the House floor\n\nRep. Palmer continued, \u201cThe American people deserve a Republican Conference that is unified, transparent, and committed to the job. Before we vote tomorrow, every candidate should commit to these principles.\u201d\n\nDetails on the Palmer Principles:\n\n1. Fund the government on time with all single subject appropriations bills passing the House by June 30th\n\nEliminate the arbitrary May 15th deadline prohibiting consideration of appropriations bills under the Congressional Budget Act.\n\nPrevent the House from considering other legislation if we have not passed 12 appropriations bills by June 30th\n\nPrevent the House from bringing up any other legislation sent over from the Senate if they have not passed their 12 bills by July 30th\n\nPrevent the House from recessing after July 31st if we have not passed our 12 appropriations bills\n\nProvide for a national security exception with a 2/3rd vote\n\n2. Real spending cuts, NOT budget gimmicks\n\nWith the national debt over $33 trillion, we do not have time to hide behind gimmicks. We need to reduce the actual spending, not just slow the rate of our out-of-control spending.\n\n3. No short term CRs\n\nIf all of the appropriations bills are not passed by September 30th, we will have a self-executing CR until April 15th.\n\nNo more kicking the can down the road to just before major holidays as a tactic to pressure members into voting for a bad legislative spending package.\n\n4. Enforce a true 72-hour rule allowing members and the American people time to review legislation\n\nFor too long, Congress has released thousand-page bills in the middle of the night and expected members and the American public to be informed by the next day. The American people deserve to have ample time to review legislation and the confidence that their representatives have done the same.\n\n5.

Alongside Representatives Blake Moore (R-UT), Dan Goldman (D-NY) and Brad Schneider (D-IL), Congressman Aderholt requested that Egypt establish safe zones in Southern Gaza with humanitarian corridors that would aid civilians impacted by Hamas\u2019s brutal war on Israel. The bipartisan letter is signed by 107 Member of Congress (below in full).\n\n\u201cIsrael has every right to defend itself from Hamas\u2019s terrorism,\u201d Congressman Aderholt said. \u201cEgypt has an opportunity to save lives by taking a major leadership role and help establish safe zones for non-combatants, particularly women and children, seeking refuge from Hamas. As Hamas continues to put targets on their own civilians, take hostages, use Gazans as human shields, and embed their command centers within civilian communities, Egypt has an opportunity to protect civilian life and work with the U.S. and Israel. Moreover, a productive approach from Egypt that secures temporary zones for the vulnerable and establishes secure conduits for aid that will help Israel root out Hamas and protect its national security,\u201d the Congressman concluded.\n\nIn part, the letter reads, \u201cIn order to protect noncombatants and civilians in Gaza from Hamas\u2019s brutality, we call on the Egyptian government to urgently work with the United States, Israel, and relevant international stakeholders to take all measured and appropriate steps to support and facilitate safe zones in southern Gaza and enable a steady supply of humanitarian assistance to flow from Egypt towards those in the safe zones until the civilian population is able to return to the north of the Strip. We are optimistic that the international community will participate in providing financial assistance for this humanitarian situation, but Egypt\u2019s robust participation is essential to the success and the safety and security of up to two million Gazans who are desperately in need of such support. Further, those states that have been long-standing intermediaries for Hamas, especially Qatar and Turkey, should be called upon to help as well.\u201d\n\nText of the full letter is below:\n\nDear Ambassador Zahran,\n\nAs members of the U.S. House of Representatives, we are writing to you to express our outright condemnation of the recent terrorist attacks in Israel by Hamas and its terrorist partners. Given these events, we strongly encourage the government of Egypt to engage constructively with the United States, Israel, and relevant international stakeholders to establish and maintain safe zones in southern Gaza, with humanitarian access corridors, for civilians seeking refuge from the fighting in the north of the Strip.\n\nIsrael has the well-established right and responsibility to respond to these vicious attacks. We unequivocally support Israel\u2019s right to defend itself, take necessary measures in support of its national security, and rescue the nearly 200 hostages currently being held in Gaza. As in previous conflicts, we also note that Israel\u2019s military operations inside Gaza are designed to avoid civilian casualties. Israel has repeatedly encouraged innocent Gazans to leave Hamas locations and targets in the northern part of the Strip and has established an intelligence driven process to target terrorist activity, limit civilian casualties, establish corridors for safe passage, and adhere to the laws of armed conflict. In contrast, Hamas shamefully disregards international humanitarian law and the rules of war by intentionally targeting civilians, taking hostages, using human shields, and embedding their fighters in civilian communities with utter disregard for their welfare. As the controlling authority in the Gaza Strip, Hamas locates its infrastructure and command centers within civilian homes, schools, and hospitals. Hamas routinely launches rockets and mortars from residential neighborhoods. Hamas and other organizations such as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad have done everything in their power to maximize the danger and suffering of the civilians over which they have governing responsibility, publicly threatening residents and preventing them from evacuating combat areas. These heinous actions are intentional, irrefutable, and inexcusable. They are also clear violations of the laws of armed conflict.\n\nWe are also deeply concerned for the innocent civilian lives Hamas intentionally puts in harm\u2019s way, and the rapidly growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza driven by Hamas\u2019s brutality. Although Israel has repeatedly warned Gazans to leave Hamas locations and targets, Hamas is actively working to prevent the evacuation of innocent Palestinians in order to use them as human shields. In fact, Hamas has even taken active steps to prevent foreign nationals from evacuating through the Rafah Border Crossing, the only remaining way out of Gaza.\n\nIn order to protect noncombatants and civilians in Gaza from Hamas\u2019s brutality, we call on the Egyptian government to urgently work with the United States, Israel, and relevant international stakeholders to 1) take all measured and appropriate steps to support and facilitate safe zones in southern Gaza and 2) enable a steady supply of humanitarian assistance to flow from Egypt towards those in the safe zones until the civilian population is able to return to the north of the Strip. We are optimistic that the international community will participate in providing financial assistance for this humanitarian situation, but Egypt\u2019s robust participation is essential to the success and the safety and security of up to two million Gazans who are desperately in need of such support. Further, we call upon those states that have been long-standing intermediaries for Hamas, especially Qatar and Turkey, to help as well.\n\nEgypt is a major global player and a consistent security partner to the United States. We urge Egypt to recognize its humanitarian responsibility to protect innocent lives. Egypt\u2019s partnership with the Israeli government since 1980 has played a valuable role in preserving peace and security in the region for decades. We call upon your government once again to maintain this commitment to partnership and quickly take action to support civilian effectively being held hostage by Hamas.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:49:26Z"], ["https://barrymoore.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-barry-moore-reaffirms-support-jim-jordan-speaker", "Rep.

Strong (AL-05), member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, is joining Republican colleagues in holding Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas accountable for the crisis at the Southwest border.\n\nThis week, the committee released a second interim report as part of its comprehensive oversight investigation into the crisis at the Southwest border. The report provides firsthand testimony from law enforcement officials and insight from the frontlines of the border crisis. It outlines how cartels gained control at the Southwest border and how the current policies set forth by President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas have fuel the cartels\u2019 human smuggling and drug trafficking operations.\n\n\u201cPresident Joe Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas\u2019 ongoing border crisis has escalated into a national security nightmare. It\u2019s no secret that the Biden administration has handed over control of our Southwest border to the Mexican cartels. Something must be done, and I will not stand idly by,\u201d said Representative Dale Strong.\n\nSee highlights from the report here:\n\n\u201cNumerous law enforcement veterans, local officials, and national security experts agree that the cartels have seized an unprecedented level of control at the Southwest border. This control represents a significant challenge to CBP\u2019s national security mission, the safety of American communities, and the sovereignty of the United States.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe testimony of experienced border security and law enforcement professionals, to say nothing of the sheer number of illegal aliens and illicit drugs being moved across the border every day, together demonstrate that the cartels now possess a historic level of control at the Southwest border. Despite their heroic efforts, the men and women of federal, state, and local law enforcement have been overwhelmed by the onslaught, and are only able to mitigate some of the consequences of that control.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe cartels have seized control as a result of the open-borders policies of Mayorkas and the Biden administration. These groups have seized on the millions of people streaming through Mexico to the Southwest border to take advantage of Mayorkas\u2019 radical \u201ccatch and release\u201d policies, confident in the knowledge that if they gain entrance into the United States, they will never be sent home. The cartels have capitalized on this eagerness, and devised insidious new ways to take advantage of vulnerable populations to ensure an effectively endless stream of revenue.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:35:26Z"], ["https://strong.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-dale-strong-hosts-north-alabama-law-enforcement-leaders-roundtable", "Congressman Dale Strong hosts North Alabama law enforcement leaders roundtable", "2023-09-07", "2023", "2023-09", "Republican", "House", "AL", "Dale W.

Numerous ambulance calls to the Daniels residence were made in the months prior to her passing, one of which was accompanied by Congressman Strong in his capacity as a licensed emergency medical technician (EMT).\n\nDaniels\u2019 2020 tax return was filed on October 22, 2021, which indicated that he had overpaid his federal taxes by $12,464.00. On May 26, 2023, given that the IRS had yet to issue a refund, Daniels contacted Congressman Strong\u2019s office seeking assistance. In the 582 days that passed since his tax return submission, Daniels made multiple attempts to seek resolution with the IRS to no avail.\n\n\u201cMost of my phone calls ended with my inability to reach a human being at the IRS,\u201d said Daniels. \u201cThey just weren\u2019t there for me.\u201d\n\nAfter engaging with the IRS to issue Daniels his refund, Congressman Strong was successful in securing the constituent his full federal tax overpayment, with interest.\n\nDaniels said of his experience with Congressman Strong\u2019s office, \u201cI was very pleased and also was just really happy that [they] got back with me. That was good, that was nice. [They] didn\u2019t forget me.\u201d\n\n\u201cMr. Daniels\u2019 case is a prime example of federal bureaucracy failing the people it was created to serve,\u201d said Congressman Strong. \u201cThe fact that a hard-working citizen can pay federal taxes his entire life and be disregarded by the IRS in his time of need is unacceptable.
