“Congressman Steube was involved in an accident on his property this afternoon and sustained multiple injuries,” the tweet said. “We will provide additional updates when possible. Please pray for the Congressman and his family.
A spokeswoman for Steube did not immediately return a request for comment.
The lawmaker has represented Florida’s 17th Congressional District, in south-central Florida, since 2019. Previously, he served in the Florida House and Florida Senate between 2010 and 2018. He was in the US Army for four years from 2004 to 2008.
The 44-year-old is one of 147 Republicans in Congress who voted to nullify the results of the 2020 election after the January 6, 2021 riots at the US Capitol. Last year, he made headlines after brandishing three guns during a virtual hearing on gun violence.
