Rep. Greg Steube, Florida Republican, sustained several injuries after falling 25 feet down from a ladder Wednesday.
Mr. Steube made the fall at his Sarasota residence while cutting tree limbs, according to his office.
The lawmaker spent the night in the intensive care unit where several of his serious injuries are being assessed. The injuries were non-life threatening.
“He is making progress and in good spirits,” a tweet by his official account read.
The account also thanked emergency responders, those who wished him well, and members of the media for their hesitance to report the details.
