Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) suffered “multiple injuries” after an accident on his property Wednesday, his office said.
“Please pray for the congressman and his family,” his office said in a statement on social media. No further details were provided and a representative for the congressman did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday night.
Steube represents Florida’s 17th District, an area in the southwestern part of the state that includes the cities of Sarasota and Venice.
“Horrified to hear about @RepGregSteube’s accident earlier today,” tweeted Congressman Vern Buchanan, a fellow Florida Republican.
Steube, an Army veteran and former state legislator, was first elected to the House in 2019. As a vocal critic of President Biden, he supported the investigation into the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, co-sponsored a bill aimed at reimbursing members of the military who were forced to leave for refusing to be vaccinated against the coronavirus and opposed abortion “in any state of development”.

Steube has served on the Veterans Affairs, Judiciary and Foreign Affairs committees and was recently appointed to the Ways and Means Committee.
He served as an infantry officer and trial attorney and spent a total of eight years in the Florida House of Representatives and Senate. Stuebe said he was inspired to join the military after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
