Florida Congressman Greg Steube injured after home crash

Steube represents Florida’s 17th District, an area in the southwestern part of the state that includes the cities of Sarasota and Venice.

“Horrible to hear about @RepGregSteube’s accident earlier today,” tweeted Rep. Vern Buchanan, a fellow Florida Republican.

Steube, an Army veteran and former state legislator, was first elected to the House in 2019. A vocal critic of President Biden, he has supported investigating the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, co-sponsored a bill intended to reinstate military personnel forced to withdraw for refusing to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, and opposed abortion “in any state of development.”

Steube has served on the Veterans Affairs, Judiciary, and Foreign Affairs committees, and was most recently named to the Means and Means Committee.

He served as an airborne infantry officer and judge counsel and spent a combined eight years in the Florida House and Senate. Steube said he was inspired to join the military after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
