About
Elected: 2018 (4th term)
- Background: Army veteran who served in Iraq. Former state legislator. Conservative Republican with Freedom Caucus (conservative group within House Republicans) sympathies.
- Committees: Judiciary, Foreign Affairs, Veterans Affairs
- District: Central and southwest Florida including parts of Sarasota and rural interior counties.
- Ukrainian American community: Limited locally.
Bio Steube combines Army veteran credentials with committee assignments on Judiciary, Foreign Affairs, and Veterans Affairs. Despite his Ukraine aid caution, his Foreign Affairs seat gives him policy authority that creates engagement opportunities even when he is skeptical of specific bills.
Ukraine Record
- Has voted against recent Ukraine aid bills, skeptical of open-ended funding.
- Has not signed onto the Ukraine bills UAPortal is tracking.
- Despite skepticism, he has engaged substantively in Foreign Affairs debates.
Advocacy Insight
- Ask them to: Sign onto the REPO Act (S. 2918 / H.R. 5835), which uses frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine. Frame it as zero taxpayer cost and accountability.
- Why it works with them: Army veteran credibility. Iraq veteran perspective on prolonged foreign commitments and conditions for success. Zero taxpayer cost through frozen assets.
- Your connection: Veteran networks. The Ukrainian American community here is limited.
- Avoid: Any "aid" framing or alliance obligations. Lead with accountability and no taxpayer cost.
Without this bill, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians who fled the war and built lives in the U.S. face deportation back to an active war zone. This is the single most urgent protection for Ukrainians in America.

Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME], a constituent from [YOUR CITY/ZIP]. I'm calling to urge Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] to cosponsor H.R. 3104, the Ukrainian Adjustment Act of 2025. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians fled Russia's invasion and are now living in the U.S. on temporary status. They cannot safely return to an active war zone. H.R. 3104 gives them a path to permanent residency. It's bipartisan, it's targeted, and it's the right thing to do. Will Representative [REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME] cosponsor H.R. 3104? Thank you.
