Sarasota Review

Congressman Greg Steube, representing Florida's 17th congressional district, shared his thoughts on various topics through a series of tweets on June 20, 2025. The tweets ranged from political commentary to honoring veterans and promoting a historical preservation project.

In one tweet, Congressman Steube expressed confidence in the Republican Party's prospects for the upcoming midterm elections. He remarked on the Democratic Party's current offerings by stating, "If this is the best Democrats have to offer voters, I feel good about Republican chances in the midterms." He also mentioned Blue Dog Democrats in his commentary.

On the same day, Steube paid tribute to PFC David Endean of the U.S. Army through a tweet recognizing him as part of their latest feature in the FL-17 Veterans History Project. He highlighted Endean's service with these words: "From surviving brutal combat with the 25th Infantry Division in Vietnam to carrying the weight of war long after coming home, his story is a powerful reminder of the sacrifice and grit."

Additionally, Congressman Steube elaborated on this initiative by describing it as part of an ongoing effort between his office and the Library of Congress. This project aims to preserve firsthand accounts from American veterans. He encouraged veterans within his district to participate by sharing their stories: "This is part of the Veterans History Project: an effort by my office and the Library of Congress to preserve firsthand accounts of America’s heroes."

The Veterans History Project was created by Congress in 2000 as part of an effort coordinated by Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) and former Sen. Max Cleland (D-GA).
