Voting analysis
Dale Strong holds two posts that both point at the same district: vice chair of the appropriations subcommittee funding commerce, justice and science, and chairman of the homeland security subcommittee on emergency management and technology. A seat covering federal science money and one covering disaster technology suit a north Alabama district built around aerospace and research.
One vote apart
His disagreement with the conference consists of a single amendment vote, cast against a proposal his party supported and which the House rejected. Everything else he voted with his side.
