Congressman Steube “suffered several injuries” during an incident on his property

Congressman Greg Steube (R-Fla.) suffered “multiple injuries” in an accident on his property late Wednesday afternoon, his office said in a statement on Twitter.

“We will provide further updates when possible,” his office added. “Please pray for the congressman and his family.”

Media platform Florida Politics wrote that Steube “was reportedly performing routine maintenance on the home and apparently fell from his roof about 25 feet off the ground.”

Several fellow members of Congress from Florida offered their prayers to Steube and his family Wednesday night after the incident.

“Terrible to hear about @RepGregSteube’s accident earlier today,” Congressman Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.) said on Twitter. “Sandy and I keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers and wish him a very speedy recovery.”

“Erika and I are praying for our friend and colleague from Southwest Florida, Congressman Greg Steube, and his family at this difficult time,” Congressman Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) also tweeted. “You are one of the strongest people I know and I have no doubt you will get through this.”

Steube has represented Florida’s 17th congressional district since 2019. He was recently selected to serve on the House Ways and Means Committee as the House Republican Steering Committee hands out assignments for the new Congress.
