Press Release
By Congressman Aaron Bean
6/8/25
Have you heard?! Even knee surgery couldn’t slow me down this week! Despite recovering from surgery, I made it a priority to get back to Washington—because nothing comes before keeping my promise to put you and Northeast Florida first. CLICK HERE FOR A SPECIAL MESSAGE I am humbled and honored to serve as your voice in our nation’s capital. This isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a commitment I take seriously. That’s why I’m here fighting for you, cutting wasteful spending, and delivering results. BIG ANNOUNCEMENT COMING – STRENGTHENING ACCOUNTABILITY IN FEDERAL SPENDING!  This week, as chairs of the DOGE Caucus, Senator Joni Ernst and I announced a major new bill set to drop next week, one that will implement DOGE efforts and demand real accountability in federal expenditures. For far too long, improper and fraudulent payments have drained resources and undermined trust in government spending. As a taxpayer, you deserve transparency, and this legislation will ensure we’re delivering results—not recklessness. Stay tuned for the official rollout of this critical bill! CRACKING DOWN ON RETAIL CRIME To keep our citizens and communities safe, we must address the rampant crime crisis sweeping the nation. This week, I was proud to join Congressman Brad Knott in calling on United States Attorney General Pam Bondi to prioritize investigations and prosecutions related to smash-and-grab, retail theft robberies taking over cities and threatening public safety.

BREAKING DOWN THE OBBB: WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU Last week, we broke down how the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) is bringing relief for seniors, and now we’re diving into what it means for hourly and tipped workers—the backbone of our economy. Provisions in the OBBB, such as no tax on overtime and no tax on tips, will put more money annually in the pockets of millions of Americans. This includes up to $1,750 for overtime workers and $1,700 for tipped workers. This bill is about rewarding workers and delivering financial relief where it’s needed most. Stay tuned as we continue highlighting the game-changing benefits of this legislation. MEETING WITH UNF STUDENTS  I had a fantastic time meeting with Professor Heymann’s University of North Florida students during their visit to Capitol Hill! We had a lively discussion about the major legislative efforts happening in Congress, including tax relief, responsible spending, and my work to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending. It’s always inspiring to see the next generation engaged in the legislative process. If you or your school group are interested in visiting, please connect with our D.C. team at 202-225-0123. We would love to host you. FIGHTING FOR HOUSING AFFORDABILITY  It was a pleasure meeting with Northeast Florida Realtors during their visit to Washington, D.C.! We had an important conversation about housing affordability and the growing concerns in Jacksonville over skyrocketing housing costs. It’s clear that hardworking families need real solutions to make the American Dream more accessible. It’s always wonderful to see Northeast Floridians up in D.C. advocating for what they believe in—working to make a real difference in our communities. REACTING TO THE WHITE HOUSE RESCISSIONS PACKAGE  The White House’s $9.4 billion rescissions package is a step toward fiscal responsibility, but more work remains. As co-founder of the DOGE Caucus, I have been working with the White House to rescind this wasteful spending and use your tax dollars more wisely. Northeast Floridians, and all hardworking taxpayers, deserve nothing less. CASEWORK CORNER The Bean Team never stops working for Northeast Floridians! This week, my office has gotten back over $75,824, adding to our total of $4,313,738 returned to constituents this year alone! We have also resolved over 1,200 cases involving issues with the IRS, VA, USCIS, passports, and SBA. If you are ever in need of any assistance with a federal agency, please give our office a call. Remember, serving you is what we do!Sincerely,  Congressman Aaron Bean Proudly Serving Florida’s Fourth Congressional District Contact Me Washington 2459 Rayburn Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Phone: (202) 225-0123 Nassau 501 Centre Street, Suite 107 Fernandina Beach, FL 32034 Phone: (904) 557-9550 Clay 4465-6 US Highway 17 Fleming Island, FL 32003 Phone: (904) 830-3933 Duval 117 W Duval St. #230 Jacksonville, FL 32202 Phone: (904) 319-9433 |
