| 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. However, Greg's commitment to public service began long before his involvement in politics. 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. After sustaining an injury in Ranger school, he transferred to the US Army JAG Corps and served as the Chief of Detainee Operations for Multinational Division North in Iraq with the 25th Infantry Division in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2006-2007. After returning from deployment, he served as a JAG prosecuting courts-martials with the 8th Theater Sustainment Command within the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command area.
In Congress, he currently serves on the House Committee on Ways and Means and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Through his Ways and Means committee assignment, Greg advocates for policies that support Florida's small businesses, protect our farmers and ranchers, and put Americans First with fairer trade deals and aggressive oversight over the IRS and Washington bureaucrats. As a representative of one of the most elderly districts in the country, Greg is a voice for Florida's Seniors at every step of the way. As a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Greg is working to investigate surveillance abuses from the Intelligence Agencies on American citizens and the undermining of Americans' civil liberties.
