Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

Business tax breaks

His campaign website lists the 20 percent small business deduction now being permanent among the provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill.8

Guns

Rules for gun accessories and parts

His campaign website says he led the push to do away with the $200 tax stamp on suppressors, short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns.8

  1. Tighten rules, such as registering pistols with stabilizing braces and requiring serial numbers and background checks for all gun kits and parts
  2. Keep current rules
  3. Loosen rules, such as ending federal registration for suppressors and short-barreled rifles

§4Popular bills that never got a vote

Why this matters: Many bills with wide support from both parties never reach a vote, so no member of Congress is ever on record for or against them. Signing on as a sponsor or cosponsor is the only public record of support.

While Greg Steube served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Greg Steube sponsored or cosponsored 20 of the 52. How bills die without a vote.

§5Money

Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.
