Greg Steube Florida House of Representatives

When State Representative Ron Reagan was unable to seek re-election in 2010 due to term limits, Steube ran to succeed him in the 67th District, which was based in southern Hillsborough County, eastern Manatee County, and northern Sarasota County, stretching from Apollo Beach to Fruitville.

He received an endorsement from United States Congressman Vern Buchanan, who declared that Steube was “extremely knowledgeable of the district and the district’s issues.” In the Republican primary, he faced Jeremiah J. Guccione and Robert McKann, whom he was able to easily defeat, receiving 53% of the vote to Guccione’s 28% and McCann’s 19%.

He advanced to the general election, where he faced Democratic nominee Z. J. Hafeez and independent candidate John M. Studebaker. Both candidates opposes offshore oil drilling off the coast of the state, supported solar energy, and favored medical tort law reform “that they [felt would] increase access to health care for Floridians.”

In the end, Steube defeated both his opponents in a landslide, winning 68% of the vote to Hafeez’s 27% and Studebaker’s 5%. Following the reconfiguration of state legislative districts in 2012, Steube was drawn into the 73rd District, where he ran for re-election.

The 73rd District contained most of the territory that Steube had represented in the 67th District, dropping its reach into Hillsborough County for a deeper cut of Sarasota County.

He won the renomination of his party unopposed, and moved on to the general election, facing only Bob McCann, who had previously run against Steube in the Republican primary in 2010, but was instead running as an independent candidate.

Steube and McCann disagreed over whether the state should expand Medicaid under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, with Steube opposed and McCann in favor, and over whether the state should fund charter schools, with Steube in favor and McCann opposed.

Steube earned the endorsement of the Bradenton Herald, which praised him for his “strong first term and his qualifications,” specifically calling him out for working to put two constitutional amendments on the ballot that provide tax exemptions to the spouses of deceased military veterans and property tax relief to low-income seniors.

Ultimately, Steube once again defeated McCann, overwhelming him with 74% of the vote and winning his second term in the legislature. In 2014, Steube was re-elected to his third term in the legislature without opposition.

Greg Steube Florida Senate

In 2016, Steube ran for the Florida Senate seat vacated by Nancy Detert, who was term limited. He defeated four other candidates in the Republican primary, receiving 31% of the vote, and won the general election against Democrat Frank Alcock, 59 to 41%.
