Robert Brian Strickland (born October 26, 1983) is an American politician who has served in the Georgia State Senate from the 17th district since 2018. He previously served in the Georgia House of Representatives from the 111th district from 2013 to 2017.[1][2]

In January 2024, Strickland co-sponsored S.B. 390, which would withhold government funding for any libraries in Georgia affiliated with the American Library Association. The bill was drafted following the election of ALA President Emily Drabinski and allegations of the organization promoting a personal ideology and influencing librarian certification.[3][4][5]
