When we do the right thing, our best days are still ahead.

Born here. Built here. Fighting for Northeast Florida.

Aaron Bean was born and raised right here in Northeast Florida, and he isn't planning on going anywhere. He's a conservative businessman, a lifelong Republican, a husband, and a proud dad of three — and every day he takes the same thing to Washington that he learned around the dinner table in the 904: work hard, do the right thing, and take care of your neighbors.

The people of Florida's Fourth Congressional District — Clay, Duval, and Nassau Counties — sent Aaron to Congress on November 8, 2022, and he was sworn in on January 7, 2023. Today he serves on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee — the committee that writes America’s tax law — and co-founded the Congressional DOGE Caucus to root out waste, fraud, and abuse. His mission is simple: lower costs for hardworking families, back the blue, and make Washington account for every last one of your tax dollars.

Before Congress, Aaron spent 10 years in the Florida Senate, where his colleagues chose him as Senate President Pro Tempore and he chaired the Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services. He also proudly chaired the Duval Delegation. Through all of it, he built a reputation as a relentless fighter for lower taxes on hardworking Floridians, for pro-business, pro-family policy, and for the Florida freedom agenda alongside Governor Ron DeSantis.

Aaron also served eight years in the Florida House of Representatives — a life of service that started, like so much of his story, close to home.

In between the House and the Senate, Aaron rolled up his sleeves in the private sector. He opened an insurance agency and even rescued a beloved local Putt-Putt golf business from going under. Running a small business, Aaron and his wife, Abby, saw first-hand the bureaucratic red tape our job creators fight through every single day. They loved the work anyway — getting up each morning, employing their neighbors, and being part of the engine that drives our local economy.

From an early age, Aaron knew he wanted to serve. He worked his way through Jacksonville University, where his fellow students elected him student body president and he helped start the Young Republicans in Nassau County. After college he married his sweetheart, Abby Bradley — a fifth-generation Clay Countian — and got involved in local business, where he saw up close the burden government places on small business owners and entrepreneurs. That's what led him to run for local office, because Aaron has always believed government can do better. He served his hometown as a city commissioner in Fernandina Beach and later as its mayor.

Before Congress, Aaron worked in development at UF Health Jacksonville. He and Abby have been married for more than three decades, and these days they get the joy of watching their grown children build lives of their own. Aaron's message hasn't changed since day one: when we do the right thing, our best days are still ahead. Let's go get 'em.
