Steube Secures Win For Lake Okeechobee and Florida Water

“This is a major victory for Florida water quality. For too long, we have over-relied on the continuous spraying of toxic chemicals in our lakes and waterways.

Steube Gives Remarks at Big Tech Hearing, Calls on CEOs to Stop Censoring Conservative Content

“In the era of big technology, free speech is now more important than ever. Unfortunately, many of these companies continue to violate the First Amendment by censoring conservative content for political purposes. While they are silencing conservative voices they are also allowing videos of violence and rioting to be posted without any consequences. These companies and their leadership need to be held accountable.”

Steube Defends AG Barr Tenure, Calls Out Obama Era-Corruption

“Despite Democrats’ meritless attacks, most Americans support Attorney General Barr and his efforts to keep Americans safe and root out corruption in the FBI and beyond. Without his dedication to upholding the rule of law, we would never have found out about the many instances of corruption in the Obama-Biden era, including cover ups and political takedowns of the incoming Trump Administration. I applaud his work and I am glad he is at the helm of the Justice Department during this time.”

Steube Calls Out Democrat Hypocrisy, Holds Biden Accountable in House Judiciary Amendment

“The Democrats continue these meritless attacks on the President and assert – without evidence – that President Trump has committed crimes. But time and time and again, they still found no collusion, no obstruction, and absolutely no evidence of criminal activity. Their disdain for President Trump knows no bounds and it showed with their sham impeachment and it is showing again with this sham bill. No matter how many rules the Democrats want to break or change, it will never change the fact that President Trump has broken no laws.”

Steube Joins Colleagues in Requesting Investigation into Taxpayer Dollars Used in Autonomous Zones

“Taxpayer dollars should not be used to fuel anarchy. Rather than stopping the violence immediately once these autonomous zones threatened their cities, these liberal leaders chose to promote their existence and facilitate their expansion. Autonomous zones cause millions in damage and these leftist leaders expect law-abiding taxpayers to foot the bill.”

Steube Votes Against Politicized National Defense Spending Legislation

“Funding for our national defense should not be used by the Democrats as an opportunity to further their partisan, progressive wish list, such as renaming military bases, and restricting funding for the border wall, all while forcing components of the Green New Deal on our military. The legislation goes even further to inhibit the defense of our country by reducing the number of B-1 Bombers, handcuffing President Trump’s ability to react to hostilities in Yemen, limiting his ability to deploy the National Guard, and drastically reduce funding for our troops stationed in Iraq and Syria to counter ISIS, just to name a few. I encourage the Senate to bring us back a bill that actually defends our country and borders while removing radically progressive proposals from a National Defense Authorization Act.”

Steube Supports President Trump’s Efforts to Restrict Chinese Communist Party Owned TikTok App

“Using apps like TikTok to collect American data and violate our privacy and safety is just another tactic the Chinese Communist Party uses to spy on our citizens. These types of apps should be investigated, banned, and the CCP leaders responsible should be held accountable.”

Steube Urges President Trump to Cap Unemployment Benefits and Incentivize Americans to Return to Workforce

“During an unprecedented crisis like COVID-19, we stepped in to ensure the millions of Americans filing for unemployment benefits were covered as the government urged businesses to shut down. However, this was intended to be short-term solution, and as our economy slowly opens and jobs return, we should now incentivize Americans to help jumpstart our economy by going back to work.”

Steube Leads Letter to U.S. Trade Representative Lighthizer Urging an End to Unfair Mexican Trade Practices

“Agriculture is the lifeblood of Florida and a crucial component of our economy, bringing food to the tables of millions of families across America. At a time when producers and growers are already suffering, we should not be giving foreign producers an unfair advantage over American producers. This will only exacerbate the challenges our farmers are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
