Congressman Steube’s life has been defined by service. Prior to being elected to Congress, Greg served for 2 years in the Florida Senate and 6 years in the Florida House.

Immediately after graduating from the University of Florida with both undergraduate and law degrees, Greg answered the call to serve in the war on terror following the September 11th attacks. Greg enlisted in the U.S. Army while in law school. After graduating law school early to enlist, he reported to basic infantry training at Fort Benning, GA, then attended Officer Candidate School, then Infantry Officer Basic Course, graduating on the commandants list as an Infantry Officer.

As a member of the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Greg is working to investigate surveillance abuses from the Executive Branch on American citizens and the undermining of Americans’ civil liberties.
