Steele reportedly holds a B.A. in political science from Muhlenberg College, an M.A. in international relations from Lehigh University; and an M.P.A. from the University of Oklahoma.[citation needed]

In 2011 Steele announced his intention to receive the nomination of the United States Reform Party. In November of that year, he crafted a proposed statement called the Electoral Reform Act of 2012 and presented it to the Occupy Wall Street Electoral Reform Committee.[4] He withdrew on February 23, 2012, citing a lack of support from other prospective third party candidates.

Steele is prominently featured in the 2007 documentary American Drug War: The Last White Hope.
