Twice elected as Alabamaʼs 49th Attorney General, Strange represented the state in some its biggest cases in recent history, including successfully arguing an important First Amendment case, Lane v Franks, before the United States Supreme Court in 2014.
Strangeʼs tenure as Attorney General was marked by a strong emphasis on fighting public corruption. To that end, he created one of the nationʼs most well-respected and accomplished special prosecution units. Under his leadership, the office secured over two dozen convictions of public officials, including the impeachment of a Sheriff for human trafficking and most notably the conviction and removal from office of the Speaker of the Alabama House of Representatives.
Attorney General Strange also served as the court-appointed coordinating counsel for the Gulf Coast states in the historic Deepwater Horizon oil spill litigation. General Strange personally tried the case that led to a landmark settlement agreement to compensate Alabama for both economic and environmental damages caused by that disaster. Under his leadership, Alabama received over $2 billion in compensation while saving Alabama’s citizens over $140 million in outside legal fees. Recognized as a national leader among his peers, AG Strange served as Chairman of the Republican Attorneys General Association and as Southern Region Chair of the National Association of Attorneys General.
