In 2004, when he was still President of the Taxpayers League of Minnesota, Strom was named Minnesota's “Best Villain”[4] by City Pages, an alternative weekly newspaper based in Minneapolis.

His small government conservatism is partly expressed in this quote:

"Government tries to replace the family, the church, the neighborhood, the community with a benevolent bureaucracy. The benevolent bureaucracy cannot do what [civil society] can do, but it has pushed civil society aside. It's said, 'This is our problem. Just go away. By the way, go work some more so that we can do more of this.'
