According to a statement from his office sent on his official Twitter account, Republican Rep. Greg Steube of Florida is making “excellent progress” after sustaining “many critical injuries” in an accident on his Sarasota property Wednesday afternoon.
Although the congressman is still in the hospital, he was transferred out of the intensive care unit Thursday afternoon, according to a tweet from his office.
“The Steube family is appreciative of the outpouring of well wishes and prayers,” the message said. Rep. Steube was taken from the intensive care unit this afternoon. He continues to receive excellent medical treatment in the hospital.

Steube had spent the night in the ICU, his office tweeted Thursday morning, noting that he “was knocked about 25 feet down off a ladder while trimming tree limbs.”
Steube’s injuries “are currently under assessment, but not life-threatening at this time,” the earlier statement added. He is making strides and is cheerful.
The congressman’s injuries were not described in greater detail. CNN has contacted his office for more information. Kevin McCarthy, the house speaker, tweeted Thursday that he had spoken to Steube.
“This morning, I chatted with @RepGregSteube and his wife, Jen. He is in good spirits, and our entire conference prays for a fast recovery,” the California Republican stated. “I informed him he will serve on the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, and he is anxious to get back to work!”
2018 saw Steube’s initial election to the US House of Representatives. In November, he easily won reelection to a third term as representative of Florida’s reliably Republican 17th Congressional District.
