I want to begin by saying thanks to the people of Madison County for allowing me to serve as your commissioner. We together have proven that a new energetic idea in local government can make a difference! Although we have only begun, I hope I have stood strong by my motto "People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do!" I would also like to thank the other members of the Commission for their sincere willingness to work as a team and make compromise for the betterment of all Madison County. The best is yet to come! Joshua 1:9.

His wife, the former Laura Toney of Madison, has a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Auburn University.

He also attended the University of Alabama in Huntsville and the University of Alabama in Birmingham, where he received a license as an Emergency Medical Technician.

Dale’s political aspirations started early while he worked as Campaign Coordinator for State Senator Tom Butler, who was very influential with his political career. Also, he was Campaign Manager for Billy Broadway, Superintendent of Madison County Schools.
Before Dale set his sights on being commissioner of Madison County, he worked for First Alabama Bank in Public Relations, and Solvay Pharmaceutical, as a Sales Representative. He has also served as a 911 Dispatcher and worked with Huntsville Emergency Medical Services, Inc. and Huntsville Med-Flight. Dale has maintained his interest and support in helping people in our community by serving as the county liaison to the 911 Dispatch Center and Emergency Planning. He also continues to serve as an active member for the Monrovia Volunteer Fire Department.
Mr. Strong's gift for helping people was reflected in the Medal of Valor which he was presented for his endless dedication in helping victims during the November 15, 1989 tornado on Airport Road in Huntsville.
During Mr. Strong's term, his priorities are and will continue to be public safety, accountability, and equality.
