After a hurricane, the government should help families rebuild, not hand them another tax bill. Greg Steube wrote and passed disaster tax-relief legislation that became federal law. The law helps victims of Hurricane Ian and other recent disasters deduct qualified losses without itemizing. Steube turned a Southwest Florida problem into a national solution. That is the difference between talking about recovery and delivering real relief.
When disaster strikes, Greg has worked across party lines to help families recover. He led major disaster tax relief through Congress, even forcing a House vote when the legislation stalled, and helped turn that relief into law.
Hurricane victims needed relief. Greg Steube delivered it.
Key Facts ↗ (opens electgregsteube.com/priority-issues at this heading)
- Greg led the Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2023, delivering billions in relief to 48 states and covering all six hurricanes that hit FL-17: Ian, Nicole, Idalia, Debby, Helene, and Milton. He forced the vote with the first successful discharge petition in a decade. It passed the House 382-7, and President Biden signed it in December 2024.
- President Trump signed H.R. 5366, which Greg led in the House. Disaster victims can deduct qualified losses above $500 without itemizing, for disasters from July 4, 2025 through December 31, 2026.

Southwest Florida families work hard. They should not lose more of every paycheck to higher prices, higher taxes, and reckless government spending. Washington cannot control every household expense, but it can stop making those expenses worse. Greg Steube will fight to cut waste, stop tax increases, expand American energy, and let families keep more of what they earn.
As a member of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, Greg helped make key tax relief permanent for families and small businesses, preventing scheduled tax increases and providing greater certainty for taxpayers.
Lower taxes. Less waste. More money in your pocket.

Flock cameras do not only scan vehicles linked to crimes. They photograph every passing vehicle and create a searchable record of where ordinary Americans travel. Public safety should target criminals, not treat every driver like a suspect. Greg Steube supports law enforcement and the Constitution. Police should have every constitutional tool they need to catch dangerous criminals. But if the government wants to track an American, it should get a warrant because the Fourth Amendment still matters.
Catch criminals. Protect citizens. Follow the Constitution. Back the Badge. Block the Flock.

Families should not need a lobbyist to get an answer from the VA, FEMA, Social Security, Medicare, or the IRS.
