Nine defense contractors that lobby Congress for billions of dollars in federal contracts gave Representative Strickland 73,250 dollars in campaign donations in one election cycle. She sits on the House Armed Services Committee, the U.S. House committee that writes the annual defense bill that decides how much money those contractors take home. On December 10, 2025, she voted yes on the FY2026 defense bill (the National Defense Authorization Act, known as the NDAA). On that same day, a member of her household sold up to 50,000 dollars of stock in CACI International, a federal information-technology defense contractor under that committee's jurisdiction. Every transaction here is publicly disclosed. The same-day proximity is the story.}
