Steube votes against bill that helps us
On Saturday, March 28th, 2026 the Englewood Daily Sun published Florida Veterans for Common Sense member, Coty Keller’s, Letter to the Editor. The letter details how Florida District 17 Congressman Greg Stuebe voted to repeal the High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program (HEHRP). Below is Coty’s Letter to the Editor.
Editor: The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy (SACE) reports that our Congressman Greg Steube voted for H.R. 4758, the “Homeowner Energy Freedom Act,” which repeals and defunds the federal High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebate Program. SACE explains that the program Steube voted to repeal saves participating homeowners over $1,300 on their energy bills per year.
The program he voted to repeal and defund is for low-and middle-income households – families that are struggling right now with unaffordable energy bills.
The program helps residents improve the comfort and safety of their homes while reducing their energy bills, by offering incentives to replace old, inefficient HVAC systems, water heaters, and appliances with high-efficiency units. Our state government’s energy office has already put substantial work into this program, and homeowners are hungry for programs to help reduce their energy bills.
Steube’s vote makes clear again that he doesn’t vote with the interests of regular Americans in mind. Another recent example is Steube won’t answer a call about the closing of the Murdock Post Office (March 6 Editorial, “Post Office closing hard to swallow”). He is not responsive to our needs.
This November we can elect someone new to fill the FL-17 house seat – someone who will support our needs.
