SARASOTA, Fla — Following a 25-foot-fall from a ladder at his home, Rep. Greg Steube shared an update on Twitter regarding the man who helped him during his time in need.
Steube has been recovering at home since the fall on Jan. 18.
On Monday, the congressman announced that Darrell Woodie, the man who called 911 when he fell, will attend the State of the Union address as Steube's official guest.
"Mr. Woodie called 911 after witnessing my accident and is the epitome of a Good Samaritan," Steube said.
Although Steube has been resting while healing up, he has still been conducting as much work as he can. In a tweet from Jan. 23, he noted, "While I will be sidelined in Sarasota for several weeks, I will be carrying out as many of my congressional duties as possible, and our DC and district staff continue to be readily available to assist Floridians in FL-17."
Steube fell from a ladder while cutting tree limbs on his Sarasota property, a spokesperson said from his official Twitter account back on Jan. 19. He spent the night in ICU but did not suffer any life threatening injuries.
