As a U.S. Army veteran, I remain a committed advocate for the men and women serving in the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. Congress must enact laws that ensure our troops have what they need to train, fight, and succeed. I voted for pay increases for our troops. I remain concerned by military recruitment challenges and believe that we need to do more to ensure we have full and strong forces prepared to counter global threats as needed. I’ve fought against indoctrination of progressive ideologies and the implementation of DEI within the military, including COVID vaccine mandates on our active duty servicemembers and Cadets/Midshipmen at our nation’s military academies. I oppose any use of Pentagon funding for abortion-related expenses. My office is an annual leader in recruiting and nominating the best and brightest FL-17 high school students to serve at our nation’s prestigious military academies.

Steube Reintroduces Iranian Terror Prevention Act to Designate IRGC-Linked Militias as Foreign Terrorist Organizations
WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Greg Steube (R-Fla.) today reintroduced the Iranian Terror Prevention Act, legislation that requires the Secretary of State to designate and codify 29 Iranian-backed militias and terror groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) under section 219(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, as well as any foreign entity or organization controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The bill is part of the Republican Study Committee’s broader initiative to counter Iran’s global terror network and hold its proxies accountable. Among the designated groups are the Badr Organization, Kata’ib al-Imam Ali, Sarayya al-Jihad, Ansarallah (also known as the Houthis), and other militias linked to the IRGC.
