Sarasota Review

Congressman Greg Steube, who represents Florida's 17th congressional district, has recently made several statements on his social media account regarding legislative efforts and national issues.

On September 3, 2025, Steube announced the growing support for his proposed legislation: " Great news! My Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act now has more than 50 cosponsors. Thank you to my Republican colleagues for joining me in standing up for women’s athletics and Title IX. It’s now time for @SpeakerJohnson and @SteveScalise to bring this". The bill aims to address concerns related to women's participation in sports and references Title IX, a federal law enacted in 1972 that prohibits sex-based discrimination in federally funded education programs or activities.

In another post dated September 4, 2025, Steube commented on crime trends in Washington D.C., stating: "Once again, President Trump is proven right. Not only is crime decreasing in our nation’s capital, but city officials now want the federal intervention to continue indefinitely. Mayor Bowser should now remind her Democrat colleagues in Chicago and New York that Americans". This statement follows recent reports indicating a decline in certain categories of crime in Washington D.C., after increased federal involvement in local policing efforts.

Later on September 4, Steube addressed foster care policies with the following statement: "I can’t think of anything more depraved than refusing to place a foster child in a safe home simply because the foster parents don’t conform to Leftist ideology. This isn’t just anti-Christian. It’s evil." His remarks reflect ongoing debates about criteria used by agencies when placing children with foster families.

Steube's comments come amid continued discussions at both state and federal levels about protections for women athletes, public safety strategies involving federal oversight of local law enforcement, and ideological considerations within child welfare systems.
