Reps. Strong, Crank Form House Golden Dome Caucus

June 10, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON — Today, Representative Dale Strong (AL-05) and Representative Jeff Crank (CO-05) announced the formation of the House Golden Dome Caucus. The caucus will serve as a bipartisan member organization dedicated to ensuring the robust defense of the United States homeland through land and space-based capabilities. The caucus will be a pivotal platform for Members of Congress to advocate for the necessary policies, funding, and next-generation defense capabilities to protect the nation from rapidly evolving threats. “The current threat landscape demands immediate and decisive action. President Trump has artfully highlighted the nation’s critical need for a next-generation missile defense, and we can’t risk this vision not becoming a reality. The formation of the House Golden Dome Caucus signals a new era of Congressional commitment to this national security initiative, ” said Rep. Dale Strong. “North Alabama has played a key role in every former and current U.S. missile defense program and will undoubtedly be pivotal to the success of Golden Dome,” continued Strong. " Golden Dome will only be successful if we meet President Trump's timeline ," said Rep. Jeff Crank. " This means that is imperative that we, Members and stakeholders, are well informed and working together to revolutionize missile defense of our great nation.” BACKGROUND: The establishment of the caucus follows President Trump’s Executive Order, issued on January 27, 2025, directing the implementation of a “next-generation missile defense shield for the United States against ballistic, hypersonic, advanced cruise missiles, and other next-generation aerial attacks.” The House Caucus will work closely with the Senate Golden Dome Caucus, chaired by Senator Tim Sheehy (R-MT).
