Rep. Greg Steube, a Florida Republican, introduced Monday that he might be “sidelined” in his dwelling state for a number of weeks as he recovers from a number of accidents suffered in an accident at his Sarasota property final week.
Steube wrote on Twitter that he’s recovering from “a fractured pelvis, a punctured lung, and several torn ligaments in my neck.”
“While I will be sidelined in Sarasota for several weeks, I will be carrying out as many of my congressional duties as possible, and our DC and district staff continue to be readily available to assist Floridians in FL-17,” he mentioned in a tweet.
With the elimination of proxy voting and a slim Republican majority within the House, Steube’s absence may affect laws dropped at the ground.
Last Wednesday, Steube “was knocked approximately 25 feet down off a ladder while cutting tree limbs,” and spent the night time within the intensive care unit, in keeping with an announcement from his workplace posted to his official Twitter account.
He was discharged from the hospital over the weekend, in keeping with a tweet from the congressman.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy tweeted final week that he had spoken to Steube and “informed him he will serve on the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and he is eager to get back to work!”
Steube was first elected to the US House in 2018. He comfortably received a 3rd time period in November representing Florida’s safely Republican seventeenth Congressional District.
