Sarasota Review

Congressman Greg Steube of Florida's 17th district utilized social media to discuss significant legislative actions and stances on recent issues. Having served in the U.S. Congress since 2019, Steube draws on a background rooted in Florida's state legislature and academia, including degrees from the University of Florida.

On April 10, 2025, Steube criticized judicial authority in matters concerning religious institutions and federal law. In a post, he stated, "Radical judges don’t have the authority to twist federal law and force religious institutions to choose between their convictions and compliance. My Safeguarding Charity Act makes it clear: tax-exempt status does not mean federal funding. This bill protects churches, religious". The bill he refers to, the Safeguarding Charity Act, aims to clarify the separation of tax status from federal funding obligations.

On April 11, 2025, Steube expressed gratitude towards Lee Zeldin and former President Donald Trump for their support in opposing taxpayer-funded animal experiments. He remarked, "Grateful to @EPALeeZeldin for backing President Trump’s push to end taxpayer-funded, woke animal experiments. Biden’s EPA scrapped this commonsense Trump-era reform; but we’re working with @WhiteCoatWaste to bring it back and stop the waste." Steube's statement signals his continued advocacy against initiatives he deems unproductive or excessive in governmental expenditure.

Later that same day, Steube acknowledged former President Trump again, this time for support on permanent Daylight Saving Time. In his tweet, he wrote, "Thank you @realDonaldTrump. I pushed for permanent Daylight Saving Time in the Florida Legislature. I’m fighting for it in Congress now. No more clock-switching. More daylight in the evening. Less government waste. Let’s get it done. Thank you @SenTedCruz for holding a Senate". Steube highlights his long-standing involvement in this issue, dating back to his tenure in the Florida Legislature.

Steube, who was born in Bradenton, Florida, in 1978 and currently resides in Sarasota, holds a Bachelor of Science Degree and a Juris Doctor from the University of Florida. While serving in Congress, his legislative efforts and public statements reflect his priorities and align with his previous political and educational experiences.
