Statement by Senator Harri Anne Smith (R-Slocomb) on the Death of Congressman William L. Dickinson

“With the death of former Congressman Bill Dickinson, Alabama has lost a giant political figure. Congressman Dickinson was a pioneer in the Republican Party who never forgot his conservative Alabama roots. His commitment to a strong national defense, agricultural promotion, fiscal soundness and economic growth are a shining example of what public service is all about."

“As a lifelong resident of South Alabama, I take great pride in what Congressman Dickinson meant for our district, our state and nation."

“My husband Charlie and I extend our deepest sympathy to the Dickinson family in their time of sorrow.”
