Basis for Inclusion: Scott M. Strazik holds a documented governance role at Lockheed Martin Corporation, the world’s largest defense contractor, which made documented political donations to Trump-aligned entities. Lockheed Martin generates virtually all of its revenue from U.S. government contracts (primarily DoD), and its entire business depends on congressional appropriations and presidential budget priorities for fighter aircraft (F-35), missile systems, and space programs — making its board’s governance role directly connected to federal defense spending decisions. This profile documents the factual governance relationship, not the subject’s personal political views.
Subject Classification: Private Citizen / Corporate Director. Board membership is a matter of public record.
What is NOT the basis for inclusion: Personal political opinions, party affiliation, or protected speech are NOT the basis for inclusion.
