Representative Dale Strong (AL-05) issued a statement following the Senate’s failure to pass a continuing resolution that would have maintained government operations.
“It is disgraceful that Democrats have chosen to shut down the government and hold the business of the American people hostage to advance their partisan agenda. This shutdown could end today if Democrats would support the clean continuing resolution to fund the government. On behalf of the hardworking North Alabamians I represent, I urge them to put aside politics and put the American people first,” Strong said.
On September 19, House Republicans passed H.R. 5371, which was described as a clean continuing resolution intended to keep the government open through November 21, 2025.
Dale Strong has represented Alabama’s 5th district in Congress since 2023 after succeeding Mo Brooks. Before his current role, he served in both the Alabama House of Representatives and on the Madison County Commission. Born in Monrovia, Alabama in 1970, Strong is 52 years old and currently lives in Huntsville. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Athens State University.
