As the 118th Congress comes to an end, Congressman Dale W. Strong released the following update on his work for North Alabamians in Congress this year:. “When the people of North Alabama sent me to Congress, I knew I wanted to focus on reforming how Washington does business for people. I am proud that my office has assisted nearly 1,200 constituents this year with various issues like delayed tax returns, VA claim denials, and ensuring folks receive the social security benefits they’ve earned.
