DESJARLAIS PRAISES TRUMP'S DECISION TO MOVE SPACE COMMAND TO HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 2, 2025 CONTACT: ALEX SWISHER (931) 503-4023 (WASHINGTON, D.C.) -Congressman Scott DesJarlais (R-TN-04) released the following statement praising President Donald J. Trump's decision to move Space Command to Huntsville, Alabama. (DesJarlais pictured in front of model rockets at the United Launch Alliance factory outside of Huntsville, AL in 2022.) "Promises made, promises kept! Studies found Huntsville, Alabama to be the best suited place for Space Force to set up its headquarters. It was wrong of the previous administration to put politics ahead of what was best for this branch of our military. Almost 7,000 of my constituents from Tennessee's Fourth Congressional District commute into the Huntsville area for work every day bringing their expertise to NASA, the MDA, Redstone Arsenal, and multiple aerospace and defense contractors in the area. I am grateful for the work they do and how they represent our district. These people are one of the many reasons Huntsville is the best place for Space Force to call home." ###
