Current representative and local roots
Aaron Bean represents Florida’s 4th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. A Republican, he began congressional service in January 2023 after holding municipal and state legislative offices in Northeast Florida. The House directory identifies him as the current holder on October 28, 2026. His career is notable for its progression through city government, the Florida House, the Florida Senate and Congress, with a separate business career alongside parts of that public service. S1S2S3
Bean was born in Fernandina Beach on January 25, 1967, and graduated from Fernandina Beach High School in 1985. His official biography describes a family with nine children and parents who were teachers. The hometown connection is more than a birthplace entry: he later served the same municipality as a city commissioner and mayor. Those municipal roles should be distinguished from representation of the larger congressional district. S1S2
Education and business work
The House historian records a Bachelor of Science degree from Jacksonville University in 1989. It also identifies work as an auctioneer, business owner, development adviser and bank president. Bean’s official office biography describes founding several businesses, including High Energy Auction. These are public professional details rather than assumptions about income, wealth or the success of a particular company. S1S2
His business and public-service records sometimes overlap chronologically, but they are not interchangeable. A bank presidency is a private-sector management role; a mayoralty and legislative seats carry public duties. The biography preserves the distinction instead of presenting every organization with which he has been associated as a government agency. S1
Municipal and state legislative service
Bean served on the Fernandina Beach city commission from 1996 to 1999 and as mayor from 1997 to 1999, according to the House historian. He entered the Florida House in 2000 and served through 2008. His Florida Senate service began in 2012 and continued through 2022. The four-year interval between the state House and Senate should not disappear in a compressed statement that he served continuously in the Legislature for the entire period. S1
During his Senate career, Bean became president pro tempore for the 2020–2022 term. His official congressional biography also identifies him as chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Health and Human Services. Those were state legislative assignments, not current federal committee positions. They establish a record of chamber leadership and work on a major area of state spending before he entered Congress. S1S2
The succession of offices also changed the scale of his constituency. City service concerned Fernandina Beach; state legislative service concerned the relevant state districts; congressional service concerns Florida’s 4th District. An address-based official locator is the appropriate way for a resident to determine representation, especially where district boundaries have changed. S3
Election to Congress and committee work
Bean was elected in 2022 and began House service on January 3, 2023. The House historian records service in the 118th and 119th Congresses. His current official biography identifies the Ways and Means Committee as his principal standing committee assignment. That committee connection is relevant to his federal work involving tax policy, health financing and trade. S1S2S3
His office also describes a role in the congressional DOGE Caucus. A caucus is a group of lawmakers, not the same entity as an executive-branch program or a standing committee. This page therefore does not attribute executive personnel authority to him because of a caucus title. It records the association as part of his congressional activity while keeping formal legislative assignments separate. S2
Selected legislative and public actions
In February 2026, Bean introduced the HSA’s For All Act, H.R. 7681. The official introduced-bill record identifies a proposal to expand eligibility for health savings accounts and lists Tom Barrett and Mike Haridopolos as original cosponsors. That record demonstrates sponsorship and the proposal’s subject; it does not establish that every proposed tax change became law or that a particular reader is eligible for an account. S4
Another proposal, the American Dream Accounts Act of 2026, was introduced on July 23, 2026, as H.R. 9895 and referred to Ways and Means. GovInfo identifies its purpose as amending the Internal Revenue Code to create the named accounts. The introduced version is a historical legislative record, not a notice that a new public benefit is already available for applications. S5
The office’s 2026 public record also describes a series of health-policy discussions. Its May announcement reported a session on billing confusion and prior-authorization delays, with panels addressing those issues. That provides a concrete example of convening discussion outside a floor vote. Holding a policy forum, introducing a bill and securing enactment are different kinds of work and should not be merged into one claim of a completed reform. S6
Contacting Bean’s office
The House directory lists Bean’s Washington office at 2459 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, DC 20515, telephone 202-225-0123. His official biography page lists district offices serving Clay, Duval and Nassau areas. The Nassau contact is 904-557-9550; the Clay contact is 904-830-3933; and the Duval contact is 904-319-9433. Confirm current appointment instructions before visiting. S2S3
Residents can use the congressional office for federal legislative correspondence and requests for help with a federal agency. Local service problems may instead belong to a municipality or county, and state legislative matters may belong to Tallahassee. The purpose of a government directory is to make those pathways clearer, not imply that one elected official controls them all. This profile records Bean’s current office as checked on October 28, 2026, while preserving the earlier offices as history.
