Strong | S001220 | strong.house.gov | strong | https://strong.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON— U.S. Representative Dale W. Strong (R-AL) has been selected by House Republican Leadership to serve on the powerful Appropriations Committee in only his second term in Congress. “It’s past time we put America First. Those that serve on this committee are not seeking to be popular and are willing to take the tough votes to save America for future generations. Chairman Tom Cole understands the changes that must be made, and I am honored to serve alongside him. Our time is now!” said Representative Dale W. Strong. Representative Tom Cole (R-OK), Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, issued the following statement on Strong’s selection. “I welcome Dale to the Committee and look forward to working with him. His leadership in local government and lifelong commitment to public service uniquely position him for this role. I believe he will be a valuable asset to the Committee as we work to restore conservative ideals and responsibly fund the federal government,” said Chairman Tom Cole. The Appropriations Committee has primary influence over federal spending. Its role is defined by the U.S. Constitution: “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.” The committee oversees all discretionary spending and reviews how federal tax dollars are spent. “Alabama has a decades-spanning history of powerful service on the Appropriations Committee. This assignment ensures our state's historical influence on how federal dollars are spent continues,” said Strong. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z |
