As a born native to Bradenton, Greg Steube has continually dedicated himself and excelled in all he involves himself in.

In college, Steube was involved in several University of Florida campus activities including student government, university wide committees, Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity and Florida Blue Key.

A veteran of the Iraq War, Steube has first-hand knowledge and experience of meeting challenges head-on and solving problems.  

Steube believes that some of Florida's greatest problems include small business growth, education, and energy sources. "We need to focus on the growth of small businesses through tax breaks, and in order to retain our small businnesses we need a skilled work force," said Steube. Education is very important so we need to do everything we can to support it as well. We also need to allow our state to give incentives for alternative sources such as wind. We can't just focus on one area."

Currently, Steube is an associate at the law firm of Najmy Thompson, P.L. working in the firm’s Lakewood Ranch office. He practices general civil litigation with an emphasis on business litigation, probate litigation, family and marital law, intellectual property litigation and military law.
