Michael Alan Steinberg (born February 6, 1959) is an American lawyer and politician. He has been an unsuccessful candidate in several Florida state legislature elections, and for the Democratic presidential nomination in the 2016 election. He was the Reform Party's nominee for Vice President of the United States in the 2016 election.

In 2010 he had been working in the Social Security disability claims area for nearly 30 years, and was cited by the Tampa Bay Times as an expert: "You have a double whammy," he said about population aging and the economy doing poorly, as causes for local increase in claims, and for the record nationwide 21 percent increase in claims from 2008 to 2009. At that time he was running for the Florida state House in District 47.

In 2014, his wife Miriam ran for Florida state legislature seat in District 64, where he had run unsuccessfully in 2002.

2014 election drama

Steinberg played a significant role in an unusual incident in Florida elections. When his wife Miriam Steinberg was running for office (Florida district 64) in 2014, he filed a lawsuit to disqualify a competing write-in candidate. Although the lawsuit was successful, the election was ruled invalid, and the seat was vacant until a special election could be held. As a result, the election winner J. W. Grant was out of office for a period, and his term limit clock was effectively reset. It was later ruled the write-in candidate should not have been disqualified.

Miriam lost the election to Grant by about 59:40 margin.

Subsequently, the election was ruled unconstitutional and the Florida legislature voted not to accept the result.

Miriam then failed to file new fees to run again against Grant in a special election (although Michael filed a claim against the Florida Election Commission disputing the fee requirement).

This resulted in Grant's only opponent being a write-in candidate. No write-in candidate has ever won an election in Florida, and the special election was going to be run costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Grant was about to be running up against a Florida term limit law, but because the regular election was ruled invalid the seat was vacant for most of 2015 legislative session.
