Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (including protections for pass-through/small-business provisions such as Section 199A), advocates for tax relief and lower taxes for businesses and disaster-affected families, and opposes IRS-run direct tax filing. Serves on House Ways and Means tax teams focused on preserving Trump-era tax provisions and has received high marks from conservative fiscal groups for pro-tax-cut votes.
Healthcare
Supports market-based reforms to expand consumer-controlled options (for example expanding Health Savings Accounts), opposes aspects of the Affordable Care Act, and has sponsored bills to expand choice in Medicare and incentivize charity care by providers. Policy emphasis is on lowering costs through private-market tools and expanding options rather than creating a government-run universal system.

Immigration & Border
Supports stronger border enforcement and completion of the border wall, opposes legalization/amnesty measures, and backs enforcement actions (including impeachment of DHS leadership) and policies that restrict asylum/entry. Focuses on returning to prior enforcement measures (e.g., Remain in Mexico) and limiting immigration programs he views as incentivizing illegal crossings.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Opposes Roe v. Wade and supports strong restrictions on abortion, describing himself as pro-life and backing federal and state measures to limit abortion access (including bans on telehealth/teleabortion funding and support for post‑Roe state restrictions).
Climate & Energy
Supports expanding domestic energy production and energy independence, opposes federal electric-vehicle mandates and what he describes as wasteful federal spending on EV infrastructure, and emphasizes reducing dependence on foreign energy while allowing alternative fuels only when they do not harm jobs or pocketbooks. Voting and interest-group scores show consistent opposition to major federal climate regulations and conservation measures.
Public Safety & Guns
Greg Steube consistently advocates for broad Second Amendment protections, opposes red flag laws and many proposed federal firearm restrictions (including expanded background checks and magazine limits), and has sponsored legislation to expand lawful carry and storage rights for service members and congressional employees. He has voted against Democratic gun-control bills and publicly argued that proposed restrictions would infringe on law‑abiding gun owners’ rights.
